Notre Dame

Crichton (2004) is giving a detailed description of space and place within the facinity of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and the interaction of people within this place and the playing out of street culture. He creates a romanticism of the place by emphasising the beauty of the cathedral and street culture. It tries to recreate the beauty of the architectural prowess of Notre Dame and the romance of Paris.

“Her apartment was just across the river from Notre Dame, and from the balcony in the bedroom he had a beautiful view of the cathedral, which was lightened at night. But there was still a deep blue in the sky. He looked down at the street below, the lights of the cafes, the crowds walking on the streets. It was busy and glamorous scene" (p11)
