If you like history, then this is one place you must visit. I didn't take the tour as I wanted to spend more time reading the signs (all in French, so Google Lens is your ally here). The kiosk inside has some interesting stuff for Catholics, although a bit on the pricey side. They accept credit cards, if that helps.

The Basilica is beautiful and for anyone interested in history, it is a must-see. However, the surroundings are quite complicated. For the first time in France, I felt the feeling of insecurity when leaving the metro and walking the few meters to the Basilica. Don't walk there!!

Very beautiful building but 11 euros per person… a little expensive No bag checks while we are on alert for attacks…!!! Security personnel being constantly fixed on their mobile phones makes us feel unsafe

Underrated but super special place if you're interested in the entire history of France. Beautiful Gothic architecture.

Surprising place Guided tour with Jeanne very interesting
