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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 ;))
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.
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

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!
Free to go in. €2 - €5 to light a candle (optional). Fast moving line. Amazing church. No hats, no food/drink. No *flash* photography. Small gift counter at the end to buy medallions Recommend.
Must do the tour with the ladies from CASA! Learn quite a lot and access to some sections that tourists wouldn't have. It's free and by the entrance you can see what time is the next tour.
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
It's beautiful and old. Keep in mind just how old it is. This wasn't drawn up in CAD and wasn't built with gas powered machines. Amazing when you think about it.
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.
Fun Fact! Sitting just outside Notre Dame Cathedral's main entrance you'll find a brass compass star in the ground - all distances from Paris are measured from here.
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.
