Absolutely stunning. The light coming through the colored windows make such a magical atmosphere there.
There are some entry fees for different types of tours, but the basic part of the church is free of charge.

The basilica is gorgeous as outside as well as inside. Visited crypt of french kings and queens in the middle of august. There was not a lot people and only one group of tourist. (Thursday) Ticket price is adequate for visit. This is really amazing place of history. So lot of detalis and stories on the tombs of departed nobles. The basilica offers two history lessons - architecture and monarchy of France.

Love history? This place is highly recommended. Just the area around the metro is a bit rough so try not to go there to early or too late

An important cathedral housing most of the Kings and Queens of France (plus Franks). You need a ticket to visit most of the cathedral.

Incredible stain glass windows! The quality, colors, and condition of these windows is amazing! This cathedral is in a bit of an out of the way neighborhood where tourists are not likely to come across it easily, but it is certainly worth the trek.
P.S. Very interesting wall-stabilization project in progress. Massive braces on the exterior of the building.

Wow! Walking inside it's very impressive - stained glass, limestone columns and folks doing mass and real ceremonies.
But doing the tour for 9,50€ was just fabulous! Delving into the tombs of old French kings & queens was both an adventure and a very real and humanizing experience.
It wasn't too busy on my visit (mid-morning) and there was plenty of space to get great photos, clear of other people.
I'll be raving about this one for years and so will you too!!
There's a ramp at the entry for full wheeled access, an audio-trail, lots of pamphlets and other info available

The necropolis for all but four monarchs of France since the 10th century. Most notable are the Sun King Louis XIV (builder of the Versailles Palace), Henry II and his queen Catherine de’Medici, and of course the infamous Louis XVI and his queen Marie Antoinette.

With all the monarchs buried here, the proprietors/overseers of this burial monument needs a better job of identifying who’s who in what’s what grave🫤🫤🫤. Some signs are missing, others are misleading. I can’t even find Louis XIV (Louis le Grand)!!! — Hence the 4🌟 rating)

It’s a typical gothic architecture for the Middle Ages. But it’s not a stand out for the design in its day. There’s the usual stained glass windows with all kings of depictions, including Royal images, but it’s purpose was to illuminate the massive interior. Like any medieval cathedral, it serves its intended purpose for the display of piety of monarchs who claimed divine rights of kings(?!*#).

It’s known for its crypt for the Bourbon Dynasty and archeological digs of stone coffins and other burial artifacts. For the modern visitor, this is a place to cool down from the Parisian sun, which can blistering especially in the summer.

It is one of the greatest cathedrals in the Paris area. Its gorgeous stained glass and the graves of the french monarchy make you feel the history around you. This place has the capability to resize the proportion of human beings.
It definitely worth a visit and it is easy to reach from downtown with the Paris Métro Line 13.
