Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris, France)

The gargoyles of Notre Dame are, of course, something special to see! Not that I’ve seen them, of course, since I’m quite a homebody, but I’ve heard it on good faith that it’s “worth the hike up the tower” to see them. And besides that – maybe you’ll run into the Hunchback, and you know that can’t be bad! If you don’t believe me, believe Merrie: “One of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals around. Gargoyles garlore! The setting for Victor Hugo’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame‘.” (Special thanks to Nancy for the suggestion.)

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
