How long does it take to climb Notre Dame?
It took my husband and I about 5 - 10 minutes to climb up. It's hard to pass people since stairs are narrow. They seem to have groups of about 25 to 30 people go up at a time. It's best to go early to avoid the crowds.
Do you tip in Paris?
Tipping in France is not mandatory. Even though it is always appreciated, it's up to the customers to decide if they want to tip or not. Unlike other countries, the price of the service is included in the total cost of the bill. You will never be asked to tip, but it's common to leave one if the service was good.
