Climb the 422 steps to discover the breathtaking view over the Cathedral
and the heart of Paris.
The tour of the towers of Notre-Dame de Paris, built in the middle of the 13th century in High Gothic style, is an opportunity to discover the cathedral, its flying buttresses, spires and roofs. The gallery of the Towers is decorated with gargoyles and chimera. The belfry is home to the largest bell in Notre-Dame de Paris: the Bourdon Emmanuel, weighing nearly 13 tonnes! The panoramic terrace has a 360° view over Paris, the Seine and its succession of bridges.
Designated world heritage site by UNESCO.
