I wanted to get a purchased ticket (vs standing in a too long of a line for free tour) for inside tour of Notre Dame. Any recommendations ?
Many thanks, New Paris Tourist Couple

You can not purchase tickets for Notre Dame. It is a Cathedral and entrance is free for everyone. No one is authorized to sell tickets for Notre Dame.
While a limited number of timed entry tickets are available here,
Reserve free tickets, up to 2 days in advance, you probably won't have more than a 15-20 minute wait without a timed entry. I would recommend an early arrival, before 9 am for shortest wait and a less crowded Cathedral.
You can also attend one of the daily services and then explore the Cathedral afterwards.
If you want to climb the Towers of Notre Dame, you must purchase a timed ticket.
