Notre-Dame area
About This Place
Still worth doing even if someone is not making this a church-heavy day. Walking around the island gives enough history and river atmosphere without feeling too formal.
Location
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris - Place Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris, France
Things to Know
- Still an active place of worship, so follow whatever the current access rules are.
- Walk around to the back side too. That part usually feels calmer and more memorable. The book stalls by the river are worth a look if you have time.
A note from Emma

I like this stop more for the area around it than for a single fixed viewpoint.
