Om
Raske fakta: Gargoyles and chimeras perch on the cathedral's edges, serving as both decoration and water spouts, their eerie shapes delighting visitors. The soaring stained glass windows fill the interior with a kaleidoscope of colors, creating a serene yet awe-inspiring atmosphere that captivates anyone who steps inside.
Høydepunkter: Beneath the cathedral's iconic gargoyles, there is a quirky tradition where visitors softly tap the massive bells, the heaviest weighing over 13 tons, to awaken echoes that can be heard miles away on quiet evenings. The stained glass windows, especially the Rose Windows, contain over 13,000 pieces of vibrantly colored glass, creating mesmerizing kaleidoscopic patterns when the afternoon sun beams through them.
Insidertips
- Arrive before 9:00 AM to beat the main crowds and move through security quickly.
- For classic views of the flying buttresses and rose window, shoot from Square Jean XXIII behind the apse.
- Wear comfortable shoes and expect narrow, uneven staircases if you plan to climb the towers.
- If tower tickets are sold out, stroll the Île de la Cité and visit Sainte-Chapelle nearby for stunning stained glass.
