Guidekin's take

Scheduled group access to the reopened Notre-Dame with a guided exterior walk first, or a combo that folds in skip-the-line Sainte-Chapelle.

Groups stay capped so the storytelling survives the crowds.

In our comparison: #35 of 36 in Notre-Dame & Île de la Cité, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
