Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the world’s most iconic cathedrals and the historic heart of the city. On this small-group tour, you’ll discover both the exterior and interior of the newly restored cathedral with a professional, friendly and multilingual guide (English/French). Outside, your guide will help you decode the Gothic façade and sculpted details that have watched over Paris for centuries; inside, you’ll step into the nave to admire the soaring vaults, stained glass and sacred atmosphere while learning how history, faith and art shaped this masterpiece. After the guided visit, enjoy free time inside the cathedral to walk, reflect, take photos or simply soak up the unique ambience at your own pace—close enough to feel the emotion, far from the feeling of a rushed, crowded visit.
