So as my adventure comes to a close I decide to take a trip to Notre Dame de Paris. Yes this is the Notre Dame that inspired the story Hunchback of Notre Dame. So if you have read this blog from the very beginning you’ll know that I have already been here. But to make this post different from that I’ll share a bit of my time climbing Notre Dame and getting one of the best views of Paris.
Now climbing up Notre Dame may seem easy but that is a horrible lie. It is about 400 steps up and another 400 down. If you’ve been using a step climber for exercise come try out this prehistoric version. But making it up there is so worth it. The first thing you’ll notice is this incredible view. You can see so much from here.
Next comes the wonderful sculptures. This is where the gargoyles come in. They are so amazing. Its really spectacular how they all have such strange faces. Appearing as happy to sad to even in the moment of eating.
Also up there is a small room that houses 2 of the biggest bells I have ever seen. I still can’t comprehend how to make something so big and heavy ring.
If you get the chance to do this in Paris I highly recommend you do.
