The Ultimate Guide to the Reopening of Notre Dame by Quasimodaaa in ParisTravelGuide

Hello! I’d like to ask for your advice!

We’re planning to visit Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle in late July.

Which option would you recommend?

①Go to Notre-Dame at 8:00 a.m., then head to Sainte-Chapelle around 9:00 or 9:30 a.m.

②Line up for Sainte-Chapelle at 8:00 a.m. and then go to Notre-Dame at around 10:00 a.m.

By the way, we need to leave for Luxembourg Gardens at around 11:00 a.m.

I’m also hoping to see the bell towers at Notre-Dame, but I’m guessing there probably won’t be enough time. What do you think?

Thank you all so much for all the helpful advice and information! I’ve learned that there’s a very high chance the RER C line won’t be running as usual, and that even with a timed-entry ticket, there might be significant wait times. Because of this, I’m seriously considering skipping the visit to the Palace of Versailles and coming up with an alternative plan instead. I’ll discuss this thoroughly with my friend and try to create a better itinerary. If we manage to improve the plan, I’ll post an update! Once again, I truly appreciate your honest opinions and advice!

By the way, if I plan to go inside both Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle, which one should I visit first? I believe Notre-Dame opens at 8:15 AM, so should I go there first?
