    Yes it is

    I saw that earlier and sent it to my wife since she had just been there. It is one of the most beautiful churches that I have ever seen. The stained glass is remarkable.

    The original Hunchback of Notre Dame movie was one of my childhood favorites.

    Ah yes...That would be the 1911 version with Henry Krauss as Quasimodo...But Victor Hugo would have been furious of that condensed version......Ben

    Yes - a sad event to see. The cathedral really is something to behold. It's so over-the-top grand and beautiful.
