Every Stop Has a Story

The Feast of Fools

The novel opens on January 6, 1482, in the great hall of the palace that stood here, where the crowd crowns Quasimodo the Pope of Fools.

Sanctuary!

Quasimodo swings down from the cathedral to snatch Esmeralda from her executioners and carries her inside, claiming the protection of sanctuary.

A Tear for a Drop of Water

On this square, then the Place de Grève, Esmeralda gives water to Quasimodo at the pillory, and it is here that she is finally hanged.

The Court of Miracles

Gringoire stumbles into the Court of Miracles, where beggars' fake injuries vanished each night, and escapes the noose only when Esmeralda agrees to marry him.

Two Skeletons

Years after Esmeralda's death, two skeletons are found in the vault of the great gibbet that stood on this hill, one wrapped around the other.
