The famous twin tower in Paris beating even the Eiffel Tower with one of the most religious items, The Crown of Thorns of Jesus Christ with one of its thorns hidden in one of the bell towers! Here are some facts before I go on to my experience:

  • It has the crown of thorns
  • It has one of the thorns from the crown of thorns
  • The heaviest and largest bell in Notre Dame is known as the Emmanuel Bell and weighs about 28000 tons.
  • It was designed in Gothic Fashion
  • It was built between 1163 to 1345
  • The Notre Dame is one of the biggest churches in the world
  • It is still a functioning catholic church
  • It attracts about 13 million visitors every year
  • It is even more popular than the Eiffel Tower
  • The Notre dame is also named Notre dame de Paris ( Our lady of paris )

So, it was about nine o’clock in the morning when we got ready and left for the train to the station near Note Dame and walked towards the church. After standing in the queue for almost an hour we finally got to enter the church. The admission to Notre Dame is free but to climb up the tower there will be a fee of €8.50 and the crypt for €6.

We were supposed to join a free english guided tour of the church but we were told that the tour has started and the group might be outside. So we had to go out of the church and look for her. Sadly we could not find her and had to  ! Luckily the queue was shorter that time so we didn’t have to stand for long. When we got inside again and we found he english tour. After the english tour we scrolled around and saw a replica of the crown of thorns and also a replica of the Notre dame itself.
