NOTRE DAME Notre Dame de Paris Review

Notre Dame or “Our Lady” in French is a Gothic cathedral in Paris. It took 170 years to complete and today is one of the most popular cathedral in Paris.

The best is view from the top where you can see the old Paris. There are 387 steps (there isn’t an elevator) to the top of the South Tower. It’s best to be in good shape. On the tower you can see Emmanuel – the biggest bell of cathedral with 28.000 pounds.

The cathedral is open every day of the year from 8:00 am to 6:45 pm (7:15 pm on Saturdays and Sundays).
Access to the cathedral is open and free of charge ever day of the year, during the opening hours.
