Art Blog - The Artist's Muse

If you have been to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, you may have been overwhelmed by its formidable majesty. I know I was on my first visit. During subsequent visits I have come to appreciate some of the detail in the architecture, its placement in relationship to the River Seine and the crowds of people that swarm the place, including the Obama's (when I visited last fall). It is a wonderful place to people watch and to absorb the infinitely detailed interior and exterior. If you wait until near closing time there is little or no waiting. It is beneficial to walk through a few times as it is easy to miss the sculptural details. This photo was taken in front of the entrance. Happy travels!
