Notre Dame Cathedral--Most Popular Site in Paris
The Cathedral of the Notre Dame, the splendid gothic structure alongside the River Seine, remains the most popular place for tourists to visit in Paris. The Le Figaro newspaper reports that in 2011 fully 13.6 million visitors went to the historic church. Second for visitors is the Basilica of Sacre Coeur with 10.5 million!! Sacre Coeur stands on a hill overlooking the City of Light.
Visiting Notre Dame just days ago, it's obvious that the Church attracts a deluge of visitors from round the world.
Other popular sites include the Louvre Museum with 8.9 million (it appears that at least one million of them appear to be there on any given day!!), and of course the majestic Eiffel Tour with 7 million visitors.
On second thought it is easy to see why Paris is so popular!
