Notre-Dame light in December 2026
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: Blue, red and violet light reaches deep inside from 10:00 to 15:40, strongest around 14:50; book the 13:30 slot. Every day of December is in the table.
The 13 m south rose faces south-south-west, so around midday it sends coloured light across the transept towards the north side. The north rose faces north-north-east and gets almost no direct sun, which is why it glows evenly but never throws colour.
