Reopening of the Tours de Notre-Dame circuit

We are delighted to announce the reopening of the Tours de Notre-Dame circuit on 20 September 2025.

While we await the launch of our e-ticketing service at the beginning of September, we'd like to give you some useful and essential information to ensure that your visit goes off without a hitch.

NO ON-SITE TICKET SALES

• You must reserve a time slot on our e-ticketing service .
• If you have a card (Paris Museum pass, carte culture, carte ICOM) and are entitled to free admission (under 18s, 18-25s, jobseekers, etc.), you must book a time slot and present yourself with an e-ticket (you will be asked for proof).
• Under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.

SELF-GUIDED TOURS ONLY

• Groups are not admitted , with the exception of school groups, extra-curricular groups, groups from the social, medico-social and disability fields as part of a visit organised with the education department.
• Group bookings are not possible.
• If you are with friends or family (and without a tour guide, speaking rights are not permitted): we can accommodate up to 7 people. Each person must have an e-ticket (adult and child).

TAKE YOUR PRECAUTIONS!

We want your visit to be as enjoyable as possible.

That's why it's important to be aware of the circuit's constraints when it comes to reaching the top of the Towers:

- There are 424 steps to climb, and the towers are 69 m high.

- Some passages are narrow (45 cm), others are low and require you to bend down.

- Some of the steps are high.

So you'll need to be in good physical condition!

The monument has no toilet facilities or water points accessible to visitors, but bottled water is permitted and even recommended!

In advance of your visit and via the e-ticketing service, you can download "le compagnon " - your free guide to the tour of the Towers of Notre-Dame.
