Paris, France - circa September, 2018: Gargoyles on the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the main sights of the city of Paris, France

Gargoyles and chimeras in the south-west angle of Notre-Dame de Paris, France. Notre-Dame de Paris is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité (an island in the Seine River), in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The exteriors of Notre-Dame were decorated with sculptures of grotesques or monsters. These included the gargoyle, the chimera and the Strix. The gargoyles, which were added in about 1240, had a more practical purpose. They were the rain spouts of the cathedral, designed to divide the torrent of water which poured from the roof after rain, and to project it outwards as far as possible from the buttresses and the walls and windows where it might erode the mortar binding the stone.
