Notre Dame Cathedral

The early Gothic Cathédrale de Notre-Dame (Our Lady) was the focus of Catholic Paris for seven centuries. Its vast interior accommodates more than 6,000 worshippers. Highlights include three spectacular rose windows, a treasury and bell towers that can be climbed. From the North Tower, 400-odd steps spiral to the top of the western facade, where you’ll find yourself face-to-face with frightening gargoyles and a spectacular view of Paris.
