Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris
I remember going to the movie theatres as a young child and watching this for the first time:
I'm sure as a 3 or 4 year old, I mostly enjoyed this gorgeous film for its silly gargoyles and upbeat songs like "Topsy Turvey" and "A Guy Like You." However, in more recent years, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the real story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm not talking about the story presented in the Disney film (although it is a wonderful story and among my absolute Disney favorites); I'm talking about the story that actually accompanies the true subject of Victor Hugo's original novel: Notre Dame herself.
