Discover the story of Notre-Dame Cathedral with an expert-led introduction followed by time to explore its magnificent interior independently.
Begin on the historic Île de la Cité, where your guide will introduce you to Notre-Dame’s remarkable history and architecture. Standing before its famous façade, uncover stories from its medieval construction to the devastating 2019 fire and the extraordinary restoration that brought this Parisian landmark back to life.
Your guide will reveal fascinating details of the cathedral’s exterior, from its Gothic architecture and sculptures to the legendary gargoyles and centuries of history hidden within its walls.
After the introduction, continue to the cathedral entrance for your self-guided interior visit. Once inside, explore at your own pace and admire the soaring Gothic vaults, magnificent rose windows, chapels, and beautifully restored interior.
For an even more complete Paris experience, choose the option including a 1-hour Seine River cruise. Relax on the water and admire landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and historic bridges of Paris from a different perspective.
