Cat from Paris {France}

on
notre dame de paris

This Siamese cat is enjoying a magnificent view of the Notre Dame de Paris, at the quay of the river Seine. 

An example of French Gothic architecture, this Catholic cathedral is one of the biggest and most famous in the world. If you climb the 387 steps, you'll see the cathedral's famous gargoyles up close and have a panoramic view over Paris and its cats.

P.S. Have you seen the 2010 French film A Cat in Paris (Une vie de chat)? 

It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and is about a cat who assists a burglar in his late-night heists, taking it to the Notre-Dame de Paris and other famous places in Paris.

    I love Siamese cats! Seems very fitting that a lovely Siamese cat would be lounging in Paris. Haven't seen that movie but will check it out

    Wow! What a great shot! It seems impossible to get a cat and Notre Dame on one picture, so I'm really impressed!

    What an exquisite photo of both cat and Notre Dame. Mom was so disappointed when she and Dad went to paris at the end of 2013 and only saw one cat in the 8 days they were there. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    How nice!!! This lovely photo with the cat reminds me of a few years ago when I went up to Mount Royal here in Montreal and visited St. Joseph's Oratory. There was a beautiful black cat walking around, which is a pretty rare sight up there. :)

    As a child, I loved the animated film Gay Purree. I still love it. I had named a cat after the lead female cat, Simone Mewzette.

    Strange to see a cat in those surroundings. Hope he's not a stray.
    I've never heard of that movie either, but I'll look for it.

    J'ai vécu 22 ans à Paris et je pense que je n'y ai jamais vu de chat à l'extérieur. Heureusement d'ailleurs. Les villes sont dangereuses pour eux.
    Notre Dame est belle, somptueuse. Paris est une ville magnifique. La plus belle peut être

    I love that picture of the kitty checking out Notre Dame. The beauty of the BACK of Notre Dame never ceases to amaze me. The front is nice, too, but who would have imagined the back would look like that?

    I totally have that movie on my "to watch" list. :)
