Positives:

  • Free entry: No ticket needed for cathedral access. Saves budget for other treats.
  • Accessible entrance: Entrance ramp and elevator platform at the central portal welcome strollers.

Challenges:

  • No baby-changing facilities: Use public restrooms on Rue d’Arcole or paid toilets on the forecourt.
  • Narrow aisles: Strollers are hard to maneuver inside; use a baby carrier instead.

A must see place when visiting Paris! It’s free to get in and you don’t need to get any tickets in advance. During the busy season it’s best to get there early. We arrived at 8.45am and we walked straight in. It was still fairly quiet when we left at 10am.

You do not need a ticket to enter! There are tour companies selling tickets but honestly, get in the line (looks super long but moves super fast - it’s basically a continuous loop in, around, and out) and check out this iconic cathedral.

The walk-up lines move pretty quickly and the to...

Wonderful to see the restored splendour of this magnificent cathedral after the awful fire of 2019. Free to enter, long queue but moved quickly and only took about 20 minutes to get inside.

I would recommend timing your visit to coinc...

What an amazing symbol of Gothic architecture! This is one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals. It's located at the downtown of the beautiful city of Paris. The building is very popular, so probably when you visit it, you'll see a lot of people around. One of the coolest things you can do is, to move around the Sena river near the shore, where you can find some seats to admire the cathedral. I did ...
