At the height of the great gallery of chimeras and gargoyles, which connects the base of the towers. On the balustrade surmounting the gallery, Viollet le Duc laid chimeras, barely visible from the ground. The Gothic Revolution lightened the facades (which no longer support the building) and led to the creation of roses, a flower that fascinates the Middle Ages. This one has twelve petals, a symbol of the Incarnation figure, which illustrates the theme window, visible from the nave (photos 91 and 93). At the forefront l. to r., Notre Dame Cloister street, Notre Dame square, the south arm of the Seine and the Pont au Double. In the right background, the Quai Montebello, École Polytechnique and the Pantheon. Altitude 40 meters.
