Have never been there and have never really studied up on the place.

All I can think of is Lon Chaney and Laughton in the hunchback movies.


Very sad to see something so hugely historic being (seemingly) razed to the ground. :emoji_cry:

I’ve never been there, although I was in Paris many, many years ago. Wish I’d seen it, as the place is now likely ruined and so is the artwork. And from what I hear, the fire is still going??

I wonder what caused it.

This is what you will see on the streets of Paris after the lockdown. Very few tourists and people roaming around the city. France is steadily recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and total lockdown since March. Here we walked along the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral and the Hotel de Ville.
