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. With just 5 participants per group, every visit is personal, unhurried, and truly enriching.

This 1-hour tour blends the cathedral's iconic façade with its 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 from royal ceremonies and cultural milestones to the dramatic 2019 fire and the remarkable restoration that followed.

After the tour, extend your experience with your chosen add-on: venture underground at the Archaeological Crypt, savour a classic Parisian macaron tasting, or drift along the Seine on a scenic river cruise.
