ours these are the same throughout the year the full hours are marked with about 50 different melodies played throughout the year at 9pm every day the same melody is played the compline hymn te lucis ante terminum after the melody gabriel marks the number of hours 51 angelus edit the tradition of ringing for the recitation of the angelus prayer three times a day began in 1472 when louis xi ordered the practice the angelus rings a few seconds after the clock at 8 am 9 am on weekends and holidays 12 noon and 7 pm it is announced by a short series of chimes followed by about a four minute volley the particular pattern of ringing depends on the time of day and time of year changing during lent and eastertide 51 services edit the bells announce services with different patterns of volleys called sonneries in the 18th century abbot claude louis marmotant de savigny compiled a list of sonneries based on traditions developed by that time the list followed a general hierarchy of solemnity from the grand solennel ringing order 1 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 used for the most solemn occasions to les benjamines ringing order 10 9 8 used for baptisms citation needed a simplified version of this list was used from 1856 to 2012 and the full practice was revived from 2013 to 2019 the bells are always rung in connection with a te deum service during the ancien régime these were held after the coronation of a new king the birth of a new heir apparent military victories or other causes of thanksgiving this tradition has continued the most recent te deum being held at notre dame on 9 may 1945 after victory in europe day the next such service is to be held on 15 april 2024 during the cathedral s reopening the roof bells are rung during elevation the moment during mass when the clergyman holds up the sacred body and blood of our lord jesus christ eucharist historic events edit the bells ring to celebrate the election of a new pope usually with the grand solennel and to mourn the death of a pope usually by tolling the late pope s age on the bourdon the bells are usually not rung in times of war or invasion except to be used as an alarm or tocsin such was the case during world war i when the fighting came to within 30 kilometers of paris the bells rang again in celebration of the armistice of 11 november 1918 this tradition has since continued with the ringing of the grand solennel every 11 november at 11 00 am citation needed in recent years the petit solennel ringing order 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 has alternately rung in order to preserve emmanuel the bells also remained silent during the german occupation during world war ii on 25 august 1944 as french and american troops were entering paris notre dame s bells rang again soon joined by bells across the city at the time many parisians did not know how close allied forces were as the germans had imposed a strict curfew and controlled the radio stations the sound of notre dame s bells was the first indication to many residents that the liberation of the city was imminent 52 in his memoirs general dietrich von choltitz the german military governor of paris recalled how he called his superior general hans speidel and simply held the telephone out the window 53 the french ministry of culture soon afterward classified emmanuel as a historic monument this precludes the bell from being destroyed or recast the liberation has subsequently been celebrated every year on 25 august with the ringing of the grand solennel at 7 00 pm 51 in the 21st century the bells have rung in times of mourning after terrorist attacks on 12 september 2001 emmanuel was rung for almost an hour in solidarity with the united states after the september 11 attacks such ringing was and still is extremely rare as the antique bell is only rung on rare occasions in order to preserve it citation needed the bells were also rung for the january 2015 charlie hebdo shooting and the november 2015 paris attacks cultural depictions edit in the 1534 novel gargantua by françois rabelais the giant gargantua steals the bells of notre dame to hang around the neck of his giant mare a theologian named janotus de bragmardo delivers an inept speech to convince the giant to return them 54 the bells are most known in popular culture from victor hugo s 1831 novel the hunchback of notre dame and its many adaptations 18 the story set in 1482 features quasimodo a fictional bell ringer of notre dame and descriptions of the cathedral s medieval bells the bells mentioned in the novel are identical to those in a 1612 text by jacques du breul fr used as a reference by hugo 55 56 these are marie jacqueline gabriel which du breul spells gabrielle also seen in hugo guillaume thibauld pasquier two sparrows french moineaux a generic term for smaller bells possibly jean with claude or nicholas and the seven bell carillon including a wooden bell cloche de bois possibly la clopette 57 58 information about hugo as well as illustrations and excerpts from the novel are displayed in the south tower which was open to the public before the fire the 1996 film adaptation by disney opens and closes with a song called the bells of notre dame four fictional bells are named little sophia jeanne marie anne marie and louise marie quasimodo refers to the latter three as triplets big marie is the nonfictional bourdon marie which first appeared in the 13th century in the 2002 sequel there is another fictional bell named la fidèle which is made of gold and decorated with jewels however such a bell would not work in real life the bells have also been the subject of poetry such as françois villon s 1461 le testament 59 and catherine phil maccarthy s the bells of notre dame 60 notes edit singer 2012 p 204 sandron tallon 2020 p 95 société

of notre dame and ministère de la culture 13 metric tonnes 13 000 kg and dubu 1854 pp 25 18 000 kg these discrepancies likely arose from various definitions of the pound french livre as well as added confusion from the bell being cast several times with different masses gueffier is the earliest source and his 36 000 lb are commonly cited in others including société 1913 p 197 dubu may have arrived at 18 000 kg by converting gueffier s 36 000 lb as livre usuelle or metric pounds 0 5 kg gilbert s 32 000 lb may come from the 32 000 lb gueffier gives for the 1681 casting singer likely used gueffier as well but cites the 32 000 and 36 000 lb as 22 000 and 26 000 lb respectively either mistranscribing them or believing them to be too high singer consistently uses livre actuelle also called livre de paris or livre de poids de marc about 0 4895 kg for conversions to kg this was the pound used most commonly in paris in the 17th century converting singer s 26 000 lb with this unit yields 12 727 kg which is relatively close to the approximated 13 000 kg given by official sources converting gueffier s 36 000 lb as livre esterlin about 0 3671 kg also comes relatively close 13 216 kg billon s 30 000 lb may come from the bell s own inscription 15 000 pounds now doubled which is likely an approximation singer 2012 p 208 according to société 1913 p 193 jacqueline s original mass was 11 542 lb the 15 000 lb given on the bell s inscription may use livre esterlin about 0 3671 kg as opposed to livre actuelle about 0 4895 kg if société uses livre actuelle the bell s original mass was about 5
