Me and my other half went to several places, one of it is Notre Dame. Its on the central of Paris. This place is one of the must visit place in Paris. Its was a very nice weather that day, not too chilly like any other day. I can even wear my not-so-thick Parka. My first impression of that place was like Wow..Its wow because of so many people (children and tourist) there. We barely get to take picture without any human body in it, in fact we don't have any of the picture. Well that's not bad after all, its one of Paris attraction, of course there are a lot of people there.
I love the place, it has an amazing architecture. The building was surrounded with neat landscape and beautiful flowers.
* Because the hotel i stayed is near by Gare Du Nord station so my direction will start at Gare Du Nord station.
Stations: Gare Du Nord - St. Michel Notre Dame (RER B - blue line)
Zone: Zone 1 (Paris)
Fare: 3,25 € (One Way)
Direction:
From Gare Du Nord, look for RER B line (blue line). Take the train to Antony/Massy Palaiseau/ St Remy direction. St. Michel is only one stop away from Gare Du Nord station. Exit at St. Michel station. There are a few exit at St. Michel, i don't remember which exit is the nearest to Notre Dame but as long as you exit at St. Michel, you will find your way to Notre Dame. Trust me, we did.
Personal Experience:
- Its crowded when we got there, probably because of school holiday. Spotted school children playing treasure hunt.
- The place is quite smelly, only at the entrance. Smell like pee, in fact almost all of the metro stations i transited/stopped smells like pee.
- If you are Muslim, there are a few Lebanese restaurant where you can buy Halal food along St. Michel side walk.
Tips:
- Because its too crowded, beware of your belonging.
- If you planned to tour around France in different Zone, its better to purchase 1 day pass which covers Zone 1 - 5.
