The Mercer Island Sister City Association will host a free virtual French art lecture on the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13. The Zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2045873733.

Expert Rebecca Albiani — a lecturer at the Frye Art Museum — will share the history of the cathedral, discuss its art, and provide an inside look at restoration efforts since the landmark’s 2019 fire.

Mercer Island’s sister city, Thonon-les-Bains, France, shares many of the Island’s qualities.
