I love the archetecture. Not happy about the 2 hour wate to get inside the day I was there, get there early or late to beat the crowds. the inside is just as amazing as the outside with all the gargoyles and arches.

I went on Thursday and first lined up to climb up the tower. It was very crowded and a 30 min wait. You can't skip the line with museum pass.
