Wow, just got back from the Notre-Dame tour and honestly my jaw is still kinda on the floor. Went with my partner and we both agreed the guide (can’t remember his name, sorry!) was suuuper passionate and told all these quirky lil stories about the gargoyles and fire. The inside is STUNNING. There was a bit of a wait outside, maybe 20 mins, but we chatted to other travelers so it flew by. You can’t take pics in some areas, which was a bummer for my Insta, but honestly, you just wanna look anyway. 10/10 would drag my friends here next time.

Notre-Dame is just, like, EPIC. Went solo, joined a small group led by Camille. She had this infectious energy and even made the history bits fun (which, ngl, I usually zone out for). It got reallllly crowded inside and sometimes I felt a bit rushed, but the stained glass? SO worth it. Weather was kinda muggy but didn’t matter. Would do again, maybe in the morning next time.

Took my parents (they’re in their 70s) and my two teens. The guide, Isabelle, was patient with everyone, even my dad's endless questions. The details about the restoration after the fire were fascinating. There are some stairs but nothing tooo wild. If you’re into architecture or just pretty windows, this is THE place. Family gave it a unanimous thumbs up.
