Paris Notre Dame Tour with Macaron, Crypte or Cruise Options

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

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 1-hour tour blends the history of ile de la cite, 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. Observe the remarkable restoration that followed the 2019 fire. Keep in mind that talking is not allowed in the cathedral, therefore your guide will not be providing commentary, until you come out.

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.
