Hi there, it would be appreciated if you would advise me the follows,
1. Can I visit City Hall Paris (Hotel de Ville Paris)? The phone (+33 (0) 1 42 76 54 04) could not connect at all
2. Can I visit Great Palace Paris (Grand Palais Paris) if there is no exhibition held in August?
3. What exact time start and close at Notre-Dame? Not sure which one is correct open/close time (10am/6.30pm) and /or (8am/7.30pm). The phone (+33 1 53 10 07 07) never answer
4. How can I recognise the zone area from the transport map? is the travelcard I need to catch the transport in Paris?
5. Do you have a good idea which website of map in English version only?

The phone is very likely to be a pile of melted plastic in a skip or landfill site so it's unlikely be answered until they get around to popping a new one in - probably after the new spire, roof, fittings, and whatever else they have to rebuild.

It's really inconsiderate of them not to answer the phone  :D

Hello,
1) according to this website, individual visits to the Hotel de Ville are suspended
https://en.parisinfo.com/paris-museum-m … e-de-Paris
You might look into joining a group visit, but I can't tell you how to do that.

4) and 5) check these pages

Thank you for further advice SimCityAT, it is a pity that I could not successfully open including all links from others

Fred

Don't you read the news? The ruddy place burnt down

SimCityAT

Of course Fred, heartbreaking News when I heard Notre-Dame fire in the morning on 16 April 2019, In March I booked my accommodation where is walking distance to Notre-Dame as I really want to visit this stunning land mark in Paris, I still could not believe it happened, it is shame if it could not open to the public when I visit my dream Paris soon

MeDioo

Thank you so much SimCityAT, I can open this AU link, but others I couldn't, anyway

I have just contacted Hotel de Ville, it is a pity to hear that a tour is only for a group, it is not for an individual.

Can I ask you a favour? do you know where I can find people who want to visit Hotel de Ville then we can make a group there? (I will be there in August)

MeDioo

Hi JulieH, you are right, they do not accept an individual, but I could not join a group, I have to make a group by myself, otherwise no way. it is disappointed to hear all in Paris so far. Again thank you for your information
