If the Eiffel Tower is one symbol of Paris, certainly the other is Notre Dame. To climb and to look from the north tower is to see Paris, the old Paris. That this view is framed by a host of gargoyles --what do you call a multiple of gargoyles? A gaggle? A group? A gathering? I digress. These creatures are as famous as the building they protect, and a fun picture to take to show a slice, and a symbol of Paris.
