Doors of Notre Dame

The work that must have gone into the carvings around the doors is amazing. The doors themselves aren't bad either.





Inside Notre Dame Part 3

I'm sorry for the bad image quality of all these as well as the lack of light; it really was tough to get a decent picture in that gloom.


Upclose and personal with the organ.

The chandeliers that were the only other source of light(other than the windows).

Inside Notre Dame Part 1

My original plans were to visit both the Conciergerie and Sainte Chapelle, but because of the transit strike, many of the places around town are short-staffed so it was closing early today. I decided to go later on, so I went to Notre Dame to finally take a look inside. It was packed with sightseers, but was still pretty, but gloomy.

The beautiful cathedral, flying buttresses and all.
