We visited the
Notre-Dame area on our first evening in Paris. Last time we were there much of it was swathed in scaffolding as they did a clean-up job on it; it was very noticeable which parts hadn't been cleaned. As it was getting to be late in the evening it was also getting a bit dark for many photos. We hadn't had any dinner, so we found a little café with a view of one side of the cathedral and enjoyed some very nice chips and a glass of wine.
The very first time I visited Paris in my teens we climbed one of the towers and were able to walk around part of the roof area. I must see if I can pull out some old slides and scan them.
When I have time...the last two weeks have been far too busy. I hope July calms down a bit!
I love how you capture all those details. The roof and spires are so full of interesting things. It amazes me to think of all the time and work that went into all those wonderful details.
