The Bells of Notre-Dame

The cathedral had 20 bells: 8 bells in the north tower for medium notes, 2 great bells in the south tower for the lowest notes, 7 bells in the Spire for the most high-pitched notes and 3 clock bells called "civil" bells.

During the French Revolution in August 1792, some of the bells were destroyed. Only 11 still remain.
