Many catholic churches are devoted to Mary, or in French "Notre Dame". The
Notre Dame church in Paris is the most famous one. But "Notre Duck" could be
referring to any other church.

Besides, the Notre Duck story is also clearly based on "The Phantom of the
Opera", the Opera being another famous building in Paris. Maybe Barks
decided that he liked drawing a church to drawing an opera building.

Note that there are very few religious marks in Barks' Notre Duck. It might
as well have been an opera building, with a church-like architecture, and a
big theatre organ...
