This 90-minute tour offers a detailed exploration of Notre-Dame led by an expert licensed guide. The tour begins with a guided walk around the exterior, where your guide will provide historical context for the building's magnificent architecture. They'll explain the significance of its famous gargoyles and discuss the impact and progress of the post-2019 fire restoration.
