Carcassonne - Basilique Saint-Nazaire
Carcassonne revisited. So just a few details from the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, that I had not noticed before (there are still many to find ..). Outside the basilica are corbels, that are very strange and - funny. These caricatures must have been added later. I know, that Viollet-le-Duc modified a lot outside, when he renovated the church in the 19th century, but did he have this kind of humor?
This may be a person with long hair - and very long teeth, or this grotesque caricature shows the head of a smiling camel, as they have that kind of lips.
