Notre Dame is one of the most famous churches of all times, the exquisite gothic influence it has makes it a bit dark, but definetely a treat to the eye of those lucky enough to see it. The Gargoyles perched on top of the church (see picture above) were there as a metaphor, protection of the holy church, plus the water spouts in them symbolize the capacity of taking evil spirits and "vibes" out of the temple. The tinted glass windows make a beautiful and sensual lighting inside the church, the play between colors is definitely a big plus in the whole Notre Dame experience.
The vaulted ceilings give the sensation of a lot more height than the one the church actually
possesses also the arches in the balconies, with the gothic moldings are definitely classy, sleek and elegant. The whole charm of this artistic current is the whole juxtaposition of details, it's a bit over the top but it's made in a way it still looks elegant and classy instead of the tadpole tacky it would in other situations.
