Bit of a tip for anyone thinking of visiting Paris who is sad they won't get to go in Notre Dame, head up the hill from Montmartre to the Basillica Sacré-Cœur. While it's not as old or as well known, it was far more interesting to me. However that might just be because I've been to endless cathedrals/abbeys in the UK and so ND was just more of the same.

Sacré-Cœur is well worth the walk, and benefits from being up the hill, away from the traffic, and surrounded by greenery. Montmartre is definitely one of the nicer parts of Paris. I could have happily skipped most of the rest of the city, but MM was worth a wonder round.



Agreed - stayed in Montmartre last year and the area around Sacre-Coeur is a gem.
