Welcome to Notre Dame!
Gargoyles. These are said to watch over the Seine River for drowning victims! (One of Alex's photos)
Part of the Gallery of Kings. There were 28 kings, probably meant to depict the Kings of Judah. However, there was confusion during the French Revolution and they thought these represented kings of France and they were destroyed. 21 of the original heads were found in 1977 and are now in the Musee de Cluny. These are recreations. Originally, these were quite colorful. (photo by Alex)
Another photo by Alex. I'm not sure what this represents, but someone is standing on this man!
My photo of Saint Denis, a martyr I studied before heading to Paris!

I can see how they were mistaken as ancient French kings! Thanks for those great photos!
