How to Make the Most of Your Visit to Notre Dame
Written by Christine, USA, January 2013
Comment from Christine
One of the world’s most famous Catholic churches is on almost everyone’s list of Paris sights – and even if it’s not, it’s unavoidable if you’re crossing the Seine with any regularity. Here are some of our top tips for making the most out of your visit to Notre Dame.
From the Top to the Bottom
If you’re in good physical shape, take the time to climb the tower. Although admission into the church is free, there is a fee for the climb. But the view is unbeatable, and you get to see the church’s creepy gargoyles up close and personal as well as the church’s famous bells. It’s best if you get there first thing in the morning, so you can avoid being in the tight spaces with so many other people.
