I am going to be in Paris next week. I keep checking the Notre Dame-Paris website. It appears they are only letting one reserve time slots 3 days in advance. Just to check, I waited in the online queue. Once I was let in, all the slots were taken. Should I try getting up at midnight and trying for a slot?

One news outlet reported all time slots were booked for the next couple weeks. All you can do is keep trying in case something opens up.

You can stand in line and attempt to get a ticket that way. I read that it might be a two to three hour wait, though.
I did a "dry run" yesterday and the 30-minute wait online actually took @ 20 minutes. The page refreshes automatically @ every 20 seconds and can jump ahead (by 8 minutes in my experience). All slots for the three days were "sold out". I want to go the first week of January, so now I know what I'm in store for.
I also am interested in what time the slots open up. Good luck to you.

As of now, no. They had announced this would be possible but press reporting from last night indicates that they were having to turn anyone away who didn't have the QR code.
