Archive of old Bell section, just in case

The cathedral has ten bells. The bourdon, called Emmanuel, weighing at 13 tonnes and tuned to F sharp, has accompanied major historical events since its 15th-century casting, such as the coronation of French kings, papal visits, and the end of conflicts such as World War I and World War II. It also rings in times of sorrow like for the funerals of the French heads of state, tragedies such as the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, and on special holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Ascension. It was recast at the request of King Louis XIV in 1681, and escaped the events of the 1789 French Revolution.

Four bells replaced those destroyed in the French Revolution. Placed at the top of the North Tower in 1856, these ring daily for the Angelus and the chiming of the hours. The first bell, named Angélique-Françoise, weighs 1,915 kg and is tuned to C sharp; the next bell is named Antoinette-Charlotte, weighing 1,335 kg (2,943 lb) and tuned to D sharp. The bell named Jacinthe-Jeanne weighs 925 kg (2,039 lb) tuned to F and the fourth bell named Denise-David weighs 767 kg (1,691 lb) and like the Grand Bell Emmanuel, it is tuned to F sharp. In 1867, a carillon of three bells in the spire with two chimes that linked to the monumental clock were put in place and another three bells were positioned in the structure of Notre-Dame, so that they could be heard inside. These are mute, although a project is planned to restore the Carillon to its former glory. The four bells that were put in place in 1856 are stored, as of February 2012.

About a year later, a new set of eight bells for the North Tower of Notre-Dame was produced, along with a Grand Bell for the South Tower, just as there were originally before most were destroyed during the French Revolution. The construction of bells was done with accuracy and precision to obtain the desired sound and the work was entrusted to two separate companies, one in France for the eight bells and one in Belgium for the Grand Bell. Each of the new bells is named to pay tribute to saints and others who have shaped the life of Paris and the Notre-Dame.

Emmanuel is accompanied by another large bell in the south tower called Marie. At six tonnes and playing G Sharp, Marie is the second largest bell in the cathedral. Marie is also called a Little Bourdon (petite bourdon) or a drone bell because it is located alongside Emmanuel in the south tower. Built in a foundry in The Netherlands, it has engravings distinctive from the other bells. The phrases "Je vous salue Marie," in French, and "Via viatores quaerit," in Latin, which mean "Hail Mary" (where the bell gets its name from the Virgin Mary) and "The way is looking for travellers". Below the phrase is an image of the Baby Jesus and his parents surrounded by stars and a relief with the Adoration of the Magi. It is in charge of the Small Solennel, which is similar to the Great Solennel except that the ringing peal starts with the bourdon and the eight bells in the north tower. This rings only on 1 January (New Year's Day) at the stroke of midnight and it replaces Emmanuel for international events. Like Emmanuel, the bells are used to mark moments such as the arrival at the Cathedral of the body of the deceased Archbishop of Paris.

In the North Tower, there are eight bells varying in size. Gabriel is the largest bell; it weighs four tonnes and plays an A sharp. It is named after the Archangel Gabriel, who announced the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. Built in a bell foundry outside Paris in 2013, it also chimes the hour through the day. Like Emmanuel and Marie, Gabriel is used to mark specific events. It is used mainly for masses on Sundays in ordinary times and some solemnities falling during the week in the Plenum North. It shows 40 circular lines representing the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert and the 40 years of Moses' crossing the Sinai.

Anne-Geneviève is the second largest bell in the North Tower and the fourth largest bell in the cathedral. Named after two saints: St. Anne, Mary's mother, and St. Geneviève the patron saint of Paris, it plays a B and it weighs three tonnes. It has three circular lines that represent the Holy Trinity and three theological virtues. Like Emmanuel, Marie and Gabriel, Anne-Genevieve is used to mark specific moments such as the opening of the doors to the Palm Sunday mass or the body of the deceased Archbishop of Paris. Also it is the only bell that does not participate in a chime called the Angelus Domini, which happens in the summer at 8 am, noon and 8 pm (or 9 am, noon and 9 pm).

Denis is the third largest bell in the North Tower and fifth largest bell in the cathedral. It is named after St. Denis, the martyr who was also the first bishop of Paris around the year 250; it weighs 2 tonnes and plays a C sharp. This bell includes the third phrase of the Angelus, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord". There are seven circular lines representing the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the seven Sacraments.

Marcel is the fourth largest bell in the North Tower and sixth largest bell in the cathedral. It is named after the 9th bishop of Paris. It plays a D sharp and weighs 1.9 tonnes. It is named after Saint Marcel, the ninth bishop of Paris, known for his tireless service to the poor and sick in the fifth century. The bell that bears his name has engraved upon it the fourth sentence of the Angelus, "Be it done unto me according to Thy word".

Étienne is the fifth largest bell in the North Tower and seventh largest bell in the cathedral. It is named after St. Étienne (English St. Stephen), the first Christian martyr. It plays an E sharp and weighs 1.5 tonnes with its most prominent feature being its gold stripe slightly above the nameplate.

Benoît-Joseph is the sixth largest bell in the North Tower and eighth largest bell in the cathedral. The bell is named in honor of Pope Benedict XVI, using the French version of his pontifical name combined with his given name (Joseph). It plays an F and weighs 1.3 tonnes. It has two silver stripes above the skirt and one silver stripe above the nameplate. This bell is used for weddings and sometimes chimes the hour replacing Gabriel, most likely on a chime called the Ave Maria.

Maurice is the seventh largest bell in the North Tower and second smallest in the cathedral. It is named after Maurice de Sully, the bishop of Paris who laid the first stone for the construction of the cathedral. It includes the inscription, "Pray for us, Holy Mother of God". It plays a G sharp and weighs one tonne. It has two gray stripes below the nameplate. This bell is used for weddings.

Jean Marie is the smallest bell of the cathedral. Unlike Benoît-Joseph and Anne-Geneviève which have two names, it is named after Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, Paris' bishop from 1981 until 2005, and on it is engraved the eighth and last sentence of the Angelus: "that we might be made worthy of the promises of Christ". It plays an A sharp and weighs 0.780 tonnes. It has a small gray stripe above the skirt. This bell is also used for weddings.

As the seat of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame is the traditional burial place for Bishops of Paris (before 1622) and Archbishops of Paris (after 1622). Several other notable citizens have been buried there as well. Most of the tombs are located in the crypt of Notre-Dame underneath the nave and choir. There used to be several tombs in the nave itself, but these were removed. Today, the only tombs visible to the public are located in the ambulatory around the choir and in several ambulatory chapels.

• https://eymardianplaces.com/paris/cathedrale-notre-dame-de-paris/ Sibour is buried in the Chapelle Sainte Madeleine at Notre Dame, where he is also commemorated by a statue.

It is not currently open to the public.
