That's an achievement! Hubby & I did that some years ago. Climbing up wasn't a problem, going down caused my knees to buckle, they were sore for the next week, and I was only in my 20s!

Oh, I love this one! congrats on the big climb!!!!...

Congratulations, Marie! You are much braver than I. More than a dozen steps in a spiral make me dizzy, so there's no way I'd ever climb to the top of ND! Great postcard!

Reminds me of disneys hunckback. Gargoyles are cool but creepy at the same time. Neat pic though! Thanks for your visit.

Yep, it's really hard but the view from the top is a nice reward.

Gorgeous !!!
I never thought to have this great Gothic gargoyles on top of Notre Dame.

That's the cutest gargoyle I've ever seen.

Quite and interesting gargoyle. Good for you, getting the Frenchman out to see his own tourist attractions!

Sounds like you had a fun day. Isn't it weird the way we never do the "touristy" things at home. We live in Victoria and have never been to the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

I love gargoyles!

You're brave!! 387 steps spiral staircase? Ewww!
But judging from the picture of the gargoile on the postcard, it was worth it!

2009-06-09T23:26:54.310+02:00

How sweet!

As an aside, I can't believe you walked up all of those steps. Ouch!

2009-06-09T21:47:58.008+02:00

I've never been to the top either, but I have a legitimate excuse. However, I expect my health to take a sharp turn towards improvement by the time we go to Europe in September, so maybe this time will be the charm (if there aren't too many tourists).

I had a good laugh at Mr. Overstreet's comment.

2009-06-09T21:43:19.292+02:00

I LOVE LOVE LOVE GARGOYLES!
IF I COULD I WOULD HAVE THEM ON MY FRONT STEPS BUT THEY WOULD GET STOLEN IM AFRAID.

I love the Notre Dame in Paris. I lit a candle there for my brother.

Really an enjoyable post, Marie. Nice you've put the coloring page.
I remember a very charming Easter Mass (during a trip to Paris, many years ago) at Notre Dame, with a fantastic powerful organ music: unforgettable!

2009-06-09T20:00:54.896+02:00

I didn't go up. But Lois Anne did - with a sprained ankle!!! You should have seen it when she got back down!

She got some nice photos...I'm going to post a gargoyle (Photoshopped to look vintage) on my Paree blog)...

Great postcard!

Have a wonderful day!

2009-06-09T19:23:26.754+02:00

Totally worth it - what a symbol. I didn't climb the stairs and I wonder why? It was 1998 I think they had the reconstruction of the facade at that time. Is it possible. I was so exited to see Notre Dame with my own eyes - one of the places that made my imagination fly as a teenager.
Thank you for teaching me a new word - razzmatazz! It is like ruzzle-duzzle, right?

I've always been fascinated with gargoyles! Funny how you just don't do the things in your own backyard! Good for you to get him up there to enjoy!

I wish I was up there at the bell tower but I don't wanna climb the spiral steps!!
