moffiarty:‘Notre Dame’ is not the name of the cathedral. The full name is Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris — often translated as “Our Lady of Paris” or simply “Notre Dame Cathedral,” where Our Lady (Notre-Dame) refers to the Virgin Mary. This means that the Archdeacon’s line about ‘the very eyes of Notre Dame’ might refer to the ‘eyes of Our Lady’, the Virgin Mary, rather than the Genius Loci of the cathedral. [x] -- source link
