Tower of Notre Dame

Les Cheap Girls discovered that the museum pass included access to the North Tower of Notre Dame.  (8.5 Euro).  This entitled the ticket owner to hike up 400 steps to the top of Notre Dame.  They were thrilled as they had already walked up 284 steps to the top of the Arc.  An additional 116 steps is nothing.  (Turns out that they were wrong).

The day dawned bright and Debbie interviewed potential participants for her blog.  She was disappointed with some of their responses and had to edit heavily.  Please see the edited interviews below:

Debbie:  Larry, Jerry and Greg are you going to climb the Tower today?

Jerry, Larry and Greg:  There is no way that I am doing that many stairs.  You people are crazy.   No, we just don’t feel that we would be successful.  I think it is wonderful if anyone can climb 400 steps.  Those people are awesome.

Debbie:  Tell me Joyce and Don how do you feel?  Are you nervous?

Joyce:  I am a little nervous but think I can do it.

Don:  I can’t decide whether to go up 2 steps at a time or run up the stairs.

Debbie:  What will you guys be doing while the others climb the Tower?

Greg:  Drinking Coffee

Larry:  Sitting down and drinking coffee

Jerry:  Staying with them, sitting down and drinking coffee

Larry, Greg, Jerry:  We will be ready with refreshments for the climbers and a camera to record this momentous event.  We only wish that we were up to the climb.

Debbie:  Any last comments?

Joyce:  Team Luxembourg rising from the ashes.

Debbie:  Go Team Luxembourg!

Don:  I love being on Team Luxembourg.  I am sorry that I ever considered quitting.

The Les Cheap Girls hustled everyone out the door to stand in line.  Only 20 people are let in every 10 minutes so that climbers are staggered.  Did you know that there is such a thing as “Skip the Line” tours?  Les Cheap Girls refused this idea as an insult to their cheapness.  Regardless, Team Luxembourg was ecstatic to be in position 18, 19 and 20.  (Maybe not Don but Joyce and Debbie immediately snapped to the concept of no one behind them for 10 minutes).  So they took pictures, stopped when they got tired and so what if they lost sight of the others?

Eventually, they arrived at the viewing platform.  It was single file, one way around the platform.  This made for some interesting dances as people tried to pass.  (Okay, Joyce and Debbie might have been going the wrong way part of the time).  It had great views and allowed you to get up close with gargoyles.

The three followed a tour group into the bell tower.   The group stood under the bells.  The security guard sat in what looked like a sound proof plexi-glass cage.  Don posed Joyce and Debbie under the bells for pictures.  This made Debbie a little nervous as it was time for the bells to ring and she was not in a plexi-glass cube.  (She can be a little skittish after the alarm incident).  The bells did ring but in another part of the church.

Team Luxembourg was feeling quite cocky about their success until the guard told them to line up to go to the roof.  (They thought they were at the top).  Guess who was in position 1, 2, and 3.  No playing around this time with the line behind them.  It was more than 100 circular steps.  Joyce said that she was at the point of telling people just to step over her as she lay on the steps.  Luckily, she saw the light at the top and powered through.  Happily, they reached the summit.

The way down to their admiring supporters was a breeze.  (There were no refreshments).
