I think you are referring to 'Notre Dame' which is a cathedral in Paris, France. In English it means "Our Lady" referring to Mary, the mother of Jesus in Judeo-Christian faiths. Notre Dame is featured in the Victor Hugo novel and subsequent Disney cartoon "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." There is also a Catholic university in Indiana, U.S. called the University of Notre Dame which is known for its football program, whose mascot is the Fighting Irish.
