Church Service at Notre Dame?
 

My wife and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary with a return to Paris, our honeymoon city. We wanted to attend Notre Dame's church service then, but did not, now we will try again. Does anyone know the schedule, or know of a website with info? Has anyone that attended the service have any advice?

Here is the website for Notre Dame. Just put your mouse over "Masses" and the schedule will show up.
And, happy 3rd anniversary.

Thanks yk! We will absolutely enjoy, now even more so!

Here's the web site for Notre Dame. It has all the information you could possibly need. Congratulations on your anniversary.

Congrats! Just a tip - there will be tourists there on Sunday morning trying to get in to look around during mass. Dress decently (no jeans) and tell the people there at the door that you're there "pour la masse" - I'm not sure if that's right but somebody will correct my rusty french, I'm sure - they should just waive you in. And I found it overwhelming just being there with the music, ceremony, and the gorgeous windows, so perhaps bringing along a tissue or two might be good. Have fun!

'pour la messe' sounds better. Or 'Je vais à la messe'.

We've always just walked in and seated ourselves. It's never been a problem.

There is a little sign telling tourists to stay in the side aisles during the services. The tourists don't always do this and the ushers repeatedly ask them to put away their cameras, don't use flash, go to the side aisles, etc. The flash bulb popping goes on until the service starts and they all get up at once and leave. This has its advantages if you come late and want a seat!
