The view from the top of Notre Dame is breathtaking, and definitely worth the 402 steps it takes to get there (no elevators)! Make sure to check out the gargoyles and make the most of the free entry!
Of all famous Parisian landmarks, the Notre Dame Cathedral is the oldest. After a long construction period, this Gothic masterpiece was completed in 1345. But it is still as popular as ever!
One of the most magnificent and beautiful cathedrals of the modern era, do not forget to visit it’s interiors and climb the narrow staircase to the bell tower and admire Paris along with the gargoyles
Its worth the 10 euro to climb the stairs to the tower.From the top you can see both the Eiffel tower and Sacre Coeur aka as Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris as well as see gargoyles up close.
Amazing city view from towers!You have to wait in a long line of visitors even though you have a "museum pass".Visitor hours ends ~6pm,but I advise you to go there at most ~4pm before queuing ends up.
Impressive architecture. I recommend Day time Visits to enter the cathedral for beautiful views of the city & worth a look in the evening as the exterior is lit up beautifully.
It is free to visit inside but if u wants to go up u have to pay,since the cathedral has been completed in different years each side of it has a different designs which u shouldn't lose them to visit.
Following the devastating fire on April 15th 2019, the cathedral is closed. Only 4 organisations are sanctioned to collect donations for its reconstruction https://www.gouvernement.fr/rebatirnotredame
I have seen many cathedrals in Europe and Notre Dame is not in my top 5 list. It is going to be an insult if you compare it with Kölner Dome, Duomo of Milano, Duomo of Firenze or York Minster!!
Charming and definitely one of the most important places to visit in Paris. Go during the afternoon so that you can enjoy a wine and some cheese by the Seine river afterwards.
One of my favorite spots in town. The bells, when they ring, can make you feel like Quasimodo. Lots of restaurants right next door in the Latin Quarter, and a few quite cafés behind the cathedral.
it's an wonderful place to visit in paris. you can enjoy both the panaroma of the church and the ambience. there is an amphi where you can sit and watch the church, while drinking your wine ;))
For picture lovers go there in the late afternoon. The setting sun adds a touch of magic to your pictures. Take also pictures from the surrounding scenery, the bridges and the montparnasse tower...
Allow yourself time here to take it all in. The climb is worth it for the gargoyles and the view and don't be overwhelmed by the queues. Justifies at least two hours of a Paris visit.
So nice ... but so crowded. If you go there visit the church towers and the see the famous gargoyle or admire it form the place in front this is also a very nice view
If you’re going to climb the tower, see about reserving your time slot first (could be hours) (can do it first thing in the morning on the jefile.fr app), then tour the cathedral in the meantime.
Breathtaking! Yet, I felt so sad not being able to enter it to pray and witness its beauty from the inside. They are working hard on restoring the wooden roof as you can see just outside.
Get in line at the right door and exit from the left. Admission is free, but free will offerings are accepted. Great gift shop in the back of this magnificent cathedral!
I enjoy sitting in front of this magnificent cathedral at night, to watch a night show by the street performers. I think it looks prettier at night time.
I like it as it is. At around 20:00 on Sat and Sunday’s there is a Lights Show outside of this Cathedral. It is only French spoken but it is worth to be seen.
Walk all the way around the beautiful "Our Lady of Paris". Be sure to visit Gardens too, and head to Rue de St Louis on Ile de St Louis afterward for lovely boutiques and Berthillon ice cream.
So nice... but so crowded. If you go here, visit the church towers and then see the famous gargoyle or admire it from the place in front, which is also a very nice view.
The line moves really fast, don't be afraid. A beautiful church with a long beautiful history. Please respect the requests of no flash, hats or talking. It won't kill you to be a civilized person.
It has one of the best views in Paris and the climb to the bell tower is totally worth it. There is always a line but it moves quickly and you can see a lot of beautiful things including gargoyles.
One of the main sights of Paris. Give yourself time to admire the main sculpted portal and facade. Climb to the towers and roof from the entrance on the North side
