- At the height of the gallery of kings, above the three portals of the west facade. The 28 statues are the kings of Judah and Israel, the ancestors of Christ. In 1870, a revolt of the Commune de Paris, taking them to the kings of France, beheaded on the forecourt. But Viollet le Duc remade the statues a few years later, not without taking some liberties with the original : on this one, he had carved his own face and engrave a certificative text, invisible from the ground. Altitude 19 meters.
