Comment

Chimeras are the fantastic statues at the top of the building's façade: the Galerie des chimères. All the corners of this balustrade serve as supports or perches for demons, monsters and fantastical birds. These elements did not exist in the Middle Ages and were added by Viollet-le-Duc in the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cath%C3%A9drale_Notre-Dame_de_Paris
