2) A tower reservation comes with a bonus perk: direct entry into Notre-Dame, allowing you to skip the general admission line.

Notre-Dame Cathedral stands as one of France’s most cherished landmarks. Tragically, on April 15, 2019, a devastating fire inflicted extensive damage on this historic treasure. Now, after five years of meticulous restoration, the cathedral has risen anew, reclaiming its majestic presence along the Seine River.

A striking symbol of its rebirth crowns the spire: a newly installed gilded rooster, its wings sculpted to resemble flames—evoking the image of a phoenix emerging from the ashes. Encased within the rooster is a parchment scroll inscribed with the names of 2,000 individuals who played a vital role in the restoration, honoring their dedication and hard work.

The monumental five-year restoration effort brought together more than 2,000 skilled craftsmen and experts, with a total investment nearing €700 million (around 5.35 billion RMB). Blending time-honored craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, the project has given Notre-Dame a spectacular second life.
