I will be visiting Paris in mid-November. I am wondering about crowd size and long lines for such sites as St Chappelle/Notre Dame (on a Monday) and the Eiffel Tower (Saturday afternoon). I am planning my itineary and pondering what to expect. Please advise. Thanks!

You can get your Eiffel Tower ticket online so that you don't have to stand in line for a ticket. Notre Dame should not be a problem. I am not sure about St-Chapelle. A museum pass also allows you to bypass some lines.

The lines at St Chap are secuirty lines since it's in the middle of the justice ministry - - a pass won't get you past those. Be if front when it opens for the shortest wait..... Notre Dame will not be an issue...... I cut under the tower a few nights ago and there were lines, but not bad. Go at night anyway, the view is better and the lines shorter. Don't buy your ticket ahead of time or you might get screwed by rotten weather...... For the Louvre, either go a couple of hours before closing or use the mall entrance instead of the one by the pyramid - - the only lines will be the ones to get up close to the Mona Lisa.......Everything else should be clear sailing.
