Bell, South Tower, Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Bell in the South Tower of the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, or Notre-Dame cathedral, built 1163-1345 in French Gothic style, on the Ile de la Cite in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. There are 2 bells in this tower, the Grand Bell or Bourdon Emmanuel, 15th century, recast in 1681 upon request of King Louis XIV, and Marie, the second largest bell in the cathedral, tuned to G Sharp, a drone bell also called Little Bourdon. The bell towers are famous as the home of Quasimodo in Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris, or The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Picture by Manuel Cohen
