Previous Episode: Candide

For July, Bastille Day, and in recognition of the tragic fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral, we read the architecture treatise with a little plot known as Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.

Along the way Linnea rants about Baroque (or maybe Rococo) decor, and we have a good healthy debate over who is worse, Phoebus or Frollo.
