I visited Notre Dame the first time I was in Paris, stood in the queue, climbed the stairs and took the photos everyone takes and have positive associations of the trip. The age, location and the view all help make nice memories that I guess many visitors feel. Victor Hugo & Disney probably add to that for others.

If you are in Paris, there are probably 10 other places with more historical relevance.

Notre Dame got to hold the French record for number of selfie sticks per m^2.
