I was in Paris last month and went to Notre Dame to hopefully get up to the tower and take some gargoyle photos. Of course I waited in the wrong line outside (the one just to tour the main part of the church). I then went to the ticket office inside and they said to go back outside and around the corner where I found a sleepy guy behind the chain link fence. He told me it was already sold out. This was around 3pm. After I returned to my hotel, I discovered an app you can download that will only work when you are close to the Notre Dame. Once you are on, I believe you can buy tickets for specific times and it may show you how many people are in front of you?
Does anyone have tips on the best way to get a ticket?
