At the height of the great gallery of chimeras and gargoyles, which connects the base of the towers. Gargoyles (bottom) have been restored in the nineteenth from model of the Middle Ages. In contrast, chimeras (above) came out of the imagination of the architect Viollet le Duc. Built 150 years ago, this scary bestiary is now part of the image of Notre Dame. Here, the southwest corner of the south tower, at an altitude of 43 meters. At the bottom, the presbytery, built in neo-medieval style in the nineteenth century. In the background, the south arm of the Seine and the tower of Jussieu University.
