Easter Sunday 2025 Mass @ Notre Dame (Paris)

Hi Everyone-

Does anyone have experience with attending Easter Sunday Mass at Notre Dame? We are having trouble finding a definitive Holy Week schedule on their website (or others). Any idea how crowded we should expect it to be (especially this year following the fire)? Any entrance point suggestions? Other hints?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Here is a tentative schedule that was posted on Reddit by Quasimodaaa, aka emilyofnotredame, who is a member here and I'm sure wouldn't mind me sharing her link. She has an incredible amount of information in here, including a tentative Mass schedule that she has promised to keep updating. But this should get you started. Just scroll down to the Mass schedule:

I was looking at this schedule last night.

I could very easily be tempted to travel to Paris specially on a day trip for the 9am services of Tenebrae. I am used to Tenebrae in the Anglican and American Episcopal traditions where it is an evening service- in the Anglican tradition up to 3 hours long and in a complex mixture of English, Greek and Latin.

It is an intriguing prospect to see the Office as a breakfast time service- going back to it's origins as a Dawn service.
