Overview

Discover the magic of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris through a complete guided experience that takes in both its breathtaking exterior and newly reopened interior.

This tour blends the history of Île de la Cité with the cathedral's iconic façade and awe inspiring interior. Starting on the Parvis, your expert guide unpacks the stories behind the sculpted portals, the Gallery of Kings, and Gothic masterstrokes like the flying buttresses.

Step inside to explore a vast interior where soaring vaulted ceilings and luminous stained glass windows bring centuries of history to life, and observe the remarkable restoration that followed the 2019 fire. Talking isn't allowed inside the cathedral, so your guide's commentary pauses until you come back out.

After the tour, extend your experience with your chosen add-on: venture underground at the Crypt, savour a classic Parisian macaron tasting, relax with lunch at a local restaurant, or start your morning with breakfast at a beloved local bakery.
