(Updated for 2025!) How to make reservations at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, complete operating hours
The epitome of European medieval architecture, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris! I'll tell you everything, from how to make a reservation to basic information like operating hours.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is a representative example of Gothic architecture in France . It is located on the Ile de la Cité on the Seine River.
This cathedral was built over a period of about 200 years, from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Napoleon Bonaparte's coronation as emperor in 1804 was also held here!
Notre Dame Cathedral became more famous thanks to Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Even Notre Dame Cathedral has painful memories... On April 15, 2019, a massive fire broke out at the cathedral, causing the spire and roof to collapse. Fortunately, restoration work was completed and it was reopened in December of last year!
