Our Lady

While in Paris I did go to see Notre Dame. I didn’t do it last year because honestly the videos of it engulfed in flames in 2019 were so horrifying that I just couldn’t. I could see it encased in scaffolding on my taxi ride to my hotel and just left it at that.

They’re working like crazy to get it fully restored in time for the Olympics next year. You can’t go inside, but they’ve got panels along the side documenting their efforts. It must feel amazing to be among the craftspeople repairing and recreating the structure and ornaments that have stood there for nearly a millennium.

Here’s what I could see.




I love the gargoyles.
