There are 422 steps to ascend to reach the top of the belltowers of Notre Dame cathedral and the steps were a welcome warming after standing outside in the cool Paris air in Spring while we await opening.
We finally got to get a closer look at the gargoyles and chimerae. The view is spectacular and you can see across all of Paris, disappointing not to be able to do this at sunrise or sunset, thought the dark spiral stairs would be somewhat hazardous without the daylight streaming through the small windows as you climb. We would say this experience is an essential for anyone visiting Paris.
