The traditional starting date is associated with the visit of Pope Alexander III to Paris between March 24 and April 25, 1163, during which time he dedicated the "new" chevet at St.-Germain-des-Pres and is said to have laid the cornerstone of Notre-Dame.

The tradition that the cornerstone was laid in 1163 may well be either apocryphal or largely symbolic [...] I shall not take issue with the traditional date of the inception of the work in ca. 1163, nor with the date of its completion in ca. 1250, for both of which there is much good evidence.
