Top things to do in Paris

Notre-Dame: The Gothic Cathedral rises from the ashes

If Gothic spires, ribbed vaults, and an air of mystery intrigue you, Notre-Dame should be on your must-visit list. Located on Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris, this iconic cathedral is a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, full of intricate stone carvings, stunning stained-glass windows, and sacred relics like the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns.

Though a fire in 2019 temporarily closed its interior, Notre-Dame has reopened its doors after meticulous restoration of its roof, spire, and interiors. Ready to explore this Parisian treasure? Read on for details about visiting, tickets, and more.

Why visit Notre-Dame in Paris?

Notre-Dame restored to glory

Now reopened after a meticulous five-year restoration, Notre-Dame stands as a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture and a symbol of Paris’s enduring spirit. The roof and spire, interior elements such as the stained-glass windows and organ, and key structural repairs have given rise to the Notre-Dame Cathedral in new and inspiring light. 

French Gothic at its finest

Notre-Dame epitomizes the French Gothic style that emerged in the 12th century. With its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and vast tinted windows, the cathedral achieves a breathtaking blend of height and light. These elements, coupled with its ornate sculptures depicting biblical tales, make it a visual and spiritual marvel, embodying centuries of architectural innovation and craftsmanship.

An icon in art and culture

Notre-Dame's influence extends far beyond its walls. Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame immortalized the cathedral, spurring a renewed appreciation for its grandeur. Its beauty has inspired artists like Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, while its unmistakable silhouette has graced films like Ratatouille, Midnight in Paris, and The Devil Wears Prada.

A center of faith and heritage

Notre-Dame remains a profound symbol of Christian faith and a focal point of Catholic life as the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. It houses significant relics, including the Crown of Thorns, believed to have been worn by Jesus Christ. Even after the devastating 2019 fire, it continues to embody hope, faith, and a deep spiritual connection for millions.

Things to know before you buy your tickets

  • The Notre-Dame Cathedral has reopened, welcoming visitors and pilgrims once again. Entry is free, but reserving a time slot is highly recommended to skip long queues. Walk-ins are allowed, but lines can be very long, especially on weekends and during peak hours. You can book your slot here.
  • To fully appreciate the cathedral’s rich history and meticulous restoration, we highly recommend an outdoor guided tour. Led by a local expert, you’ll hear fascinating stories about Notre-Dame’s past, the devastating fire, and the five-year reconstruction, including the restoration of its grand roof.
  • Opt for an audio-guided tour as you explore not only the surroundings of Notre-Dame but also the inside where you can hear lesser-known facts about this Gothic masterpiece.
  • Certain areas require separate tickets. Tickets to the Treasury are available for purchase on-site only. The Crypt, located in the square outside the cathedral, offers a fascinating glimpse into Paris’s layered past. Explore it with direct entry tickets.
  • While you’re here, explore more of Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris. A walking tour of the island lets you discover its iconic landmarks, such as the stunning Sainte-Chapelle, the historic Pont Neuf, and the picturesque Seine River, while diving deeper into Paris’s history, architecture, and cultural legacy.
  • For a unique twist, consider a food tour that takes you through Île de la Cité and the neighboring Île Saint-Louis. Savor authentic Parisian delights, including stops in the Marais and Latin Quarter neighborhoods, while learning about the city’s history and gastronomy. You could also discover Paris in new light by way of a side-car tour.
