WHAT IS “THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME” or “NOTRE DAME DE PARIS”?

The quote in the FJ clue comes from Book Fourth, Chapter III, when Quasimodo has become the bell ringer of Notre Dame. It describes Quasimodo’s love for the bells that had made him deaf and states that the bells’ voice “was the only one which he could still hear.” Out of 15 bells, the big bell, Marie, was Quasimodo’s favorite.

That, of course, is fiction but one of the bells of Notre Dame really is Marie. Learn the real names of the bells of Notre Dame.
