As a privileged visitor you will gain access the Towers of the Notre Dame , outside of the opening hours to the general public. Here you will discover the symbol of medieval Paris without the regular crowds.
A gothic masterpiece listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, the construction of the cathedral lasted two centuries. Victor Hugo, a fervent admirer of the building and indignant at its miserable state, wrote the famous The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, helping hence to revive the monument.
You will begin your tour on the famous forecourt. You will be amazed at the richness of its facade, 43m wide and 69m high. You will then enter the famous towers after they close to the public!
After climbing over 400 steps, you will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the City of Lights. Before accessing the summit, you can admire the upper room and its Gothic architecture, the gallery of chimeras and its famous gargoyles, including the famous Strigoi.
