What character conjures in the mind when scaling the lofty heights Notre Dame of Paris?
I see what you did there Google Doodle.
I get it!
As 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.
I 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
