    Even though the entrance is normally free, paying a small fee to avoid the very long queue (> 1hr) was worth it. The audio guide was informative but needs to be downloaded in advance as the reception inside Notre Dame is not good. Beautiful cathedral!

    Everything was easy. No problem with the audio guide and immediate admission to the ND (only 3 people in front of us - a very long queue outside)

    Ticketing and follow up was superb. Pepe even called us to check that we would be on time. We were late. He is a historian, a story teller, and a poet. Oh, very funny. Superb guide. Been to Paris 20 times and he taught us a lot that we never knew about Ile de la Cite. Just superb.

    Logging in was difficult, had also printed out and this was not accepted! It was very busy. Too bad, because it's worth it: beautiful, fabulous renovation
