Silent Saturday-Gargoyles Atop Notre Dame

Real Estate Agent with Red Rock Real Estate ~ Southern Utah's Largest Independent Brokerage DRE#5660491-SA00

Several years ago my daughter and I had the chance to visit Paris France.  A client of mine was an American but had lived in Paris for the last twenty years and invited us to go back to Paris with her for a visit.  It was the chance of a lifetime and a trip we'll both cherish forever.  We climbed everyone of the 387 narrow steps to get to the bell tower of Notre Dame and look at the breathtaking scenery of Paris from above.  We also encountered these gruesome gargoyles, which are actually meant to protect the cathedral from evil and harmful spirits.

I have been to Paris twice and still don't think I spent enough time.  When I was there Notre Dame was under renovation.  By your picture it looks like it is in the same condition.
