There is no hunchback. Regardless, the cathedral is as magical as the Disney movie presents it to be. Gargoyles align the outside walls, the stained glass has a life of its own, and the vaulted ceilings leave you wondering just how they were able to create such a structure. My art humanities cathedral terminology eludes me unfortunately and that is the extent of description I can provide. My first interaction with the cathedral was during a morning run. I ran the streets above the Seine and watched the sun rise over the gothic architecture. It became illuminated and the shadows provided a depth like wrinkles on an old face.
