I've been in Paris twice, it's a lovely city. Some people call it the city of love. Maybe it's... But I can't say that, I just say it's a lovely city with a marvellouse atmosphere.
I visited Notre Dame both times. It's an important cathedral, I guess, but it's specially known because of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
When I was in front of the cathedral I realised I'd ever heard about the Hunckback, but I didn't know the story of this famous "ugly" boy! So, yesterday I went to my cousin's house and I took the Disney's book which explains his story. It was quite interesting to read. In fact, I didn't expect the story was like that. Now, I know what happened. Next time I'll go ot Notre Dame I think I will have quite different feelings.
Here you have a plot synopsis, maybe you neither know his story:
In 15th century Paris, Clopin the puppeteer tells the story of Quasimodo, the misshapen gentle-souled bell ringer of Notre Dame, who was nearly killed as a baby by Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice. But Frollo was forced by the Archdeacon of Notre Dame to raise Quasimodo as his own. Now a young man, Quasimodo is hidden from the world by Frollo in the belltower of the cathedral. But during the Festival of Fools, Quasimodo, cheered on by his gargoyle friends Victor, Hugo, and Laverne, decides to take part in the festivities, where he meets the lively gypsy girl Esmeralda and the handsome soldier Phoebus. The three of them find themselves ranged against Frollo's cruelty and his attempts to destroy the home of the gypsies, the Court of Miracles. And Quasimodo must desperately defend both Esmeralda and the very cathedral of Notre Dame.
