The book is quite dark and even the film manages to take on topics such as lust, racism, and religion. In our opinion, the crypt isn’t worth visiting.The Hunchback of Notre Dame was a romantic gothic novel written by Victor Hugo in 1831, until of course Disney decided to make it into a film. It was opened in 1980 and visitors can access the crypt from 1 place du Parvis Notre-Dame.
Located under the Parvis (medieval square) de Notre-Dame de Paris, the crypt contains historical ruins discovered during construction work in 1965.
At the moment it is not possible to visit the cathedral, nor the square nearby. Visiting Notre Dameĭue to the fire which took place in 2019, the Notre Dame Cathedral is closed to the public until reconstruction work is completed. Or if you prefer you can also use the machines in the cathedral. To skip the sometimes unending lines, we recommend that you download the JeFíle application and reserve an approximate visit time online. The access to climb the cathedral’s two towers is found on the North Tower (rue du Cloître) and visitors will have to climb 387 steep steps, since the cathedral doesn’t have an elevator. Visitors can climb to the top and, apart from the magnificent views of Paris, you can visit the bell tower, where the Hunchback of Notre Dame lived, and see the cathedral’s multiple gargoyles. The cathedral has two towers standing 226 ft (69 metres) tall on its façade. On the 15th of April 2019, the cathedral suffered a serious fire, causing serious damage to the roof and the needle of the main tower.
