Calonne is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Antoing, located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium.

The village is mentioned in written sources in the early 12th century, and became a parish of its own towards the end of the century. The village was directly subordinate to the cathedral chapter of Tournai Cathedral. Stone has been quarried in the village since at least 1349. The current village church dates from 1843 but replaced a far older structure on the same site when it was built. [1]

Notre-Dame de Paris, referred to simply as Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Several attributes set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style, particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration. Notre-Dame also stands out for its three pipe organs and its immense church bells.
