Follow thehunchblogAs part of the opening ceremonies for Paris 2024 Olympics many cultural significant French references were depicted as part of the festivities. One was a lone figure holding on to the spire of Notre Dame with a stylized hunch on their back. Clearly meant to represent the Bell-ringer, Quasimodo.
You can a video of it here so you enjoy all the references, like A trip to the Moon, Le Petit Prince and Assassin’s Creed.
But who was portraying Quasimodo?
Follow thehunchblogI haven’t really been following the 2014 Winter Olympics BUT two (or three) Gold Medalists, Yuzuru Hanyu and Meryl Davis & Charlie have previously skated to Notre Dame de Paris music.
You can see their Notre Dame de Paris performances here
