Notre-Dame light in May 2027
Short answer: On 15 May 2027: Blue, red and violet light stays near the windows from 14:50 to 18:25, strongest around 16:40; book the 15:30 slot. Every day of May 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.
