The Plan of Notre Dame is a short cross， looking very majestic and solemn. Above the atrium there is a 90-meter minaret. The top of the tower is a slender cross. It is said that the cross and the crown was sealed in the ball below the cross when Jesus tortured.
The story of "the last judgment" about Jesus in heaven is described on the central arch. It is shown the story of Santa Anna on the right side of the arch， and the scene of the Bishop Sully baptized Louis VII. On the left， there is the Virgin door， described the situation of virgin"s passion and resurrection and the saints and angels around her. The Kings’ Gallery is above the arch and there are displayed 28 king statues during the Old Testament.
On both sides of the second floor above the corridor there are two huge stone lattice windows， and in the middle there are the colorful glass windows， which are called the beautiful “rose glass windows”. The magnificent colorful glass depicts the moving stories of the Bible and the previous clergy used those images to preach. The statue of the virgin and children is in the central， and the angels are on the sides. The statues of Adam and Eve are standing on both sides of them.
On the third floor there’re a row of arched and carved stone railings. In this design， Valery showed fully his imagination. In those stone railings， he created a fantasy world in which some monsters and fairies appear in every corner of the church.
巴黎圣母院是世界上哥特式建筑中最美妙、最和谐、最匀称的建筑。
圣母院平面呈较短的十字形，结构严谨，看上去十分雄伟庄严。中庭的上方有一个高达90米的尖塔。塔顶是一个细长的十字架，据说，耶稣受刑时所用的十字架及冠冕就在这个十字架下面的球内封存着。
中央的拱门描述的是耶稣在天庭的“最后审判”。右边的拱门描述的是圣安娜的故事，以及大主教许里为路易七世受洗的情形。左边是圣母门，描绘圣母受难复活、被圣者和天使围绕的情形。拱门上方为众王廊，陈列旧约时期28位君王的雕像。
长廊上面第二层两侧为两个巨大的石质中棂窗子，中间是彩色玻璃窗。这就是美丽的“玫瑰玻璃窗”。这富丽堂皇的彩色玻璃刻画着一个个的动人的圣经故事，以前的神职人员藉由这些图像来做传道之用。中央供奉着圣母圣婴，两边立着天使的塑像。两侧立的是亚当和夏娃的塑像。
第三层是一排细长的雕花拱形石栏杆。在这个设计中，瓦雷里充分发挥了自己的想象力。在那些石栏杆上，他塑造了一个由虚幻世界，一些怪物和小精灵出现在教堂顶端的各个角落里。
