A visitor’s guide to the basilica: rose windows, stone carving, and when to catch music in an extraordinary acoustic.

The basilica blends Romanesque weight with Gothic light. It’s also one of the Cité’s most peaceful interiors.

Tip: Step in during midday when the alleys are crowding; the church stays calmer.
| Period | What changed |
|---|---|
| 11th–12th c. | Romanesque nave and portals |
| 13th–14th c. | Gothic choir and stained glass |
| 19th c. | Restorations and selective replacements |
Let your eyes adjust, then look up — the glass does the rest.
