About this activity

Discover the magic of Cathédrale Votre-Dame de Paris through a complete guided experience that takes in both its breathtaking exterior and newly reopened interior. This tour blends the history of Île de la Cité with the cathedral's iconic façade and 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, and observe the remarkable restoration that followed the 2019 fire. Talking isn't allowed inside the cathedral, so your guide's commentary pauses until you come back out. After the tour, the rest of your Paris day is yours. The cathedral sits in the heart of the Île de la Cité, just steps from Sainte-Chapelle, the Latin Quarter and the Seine, so you are perfectly placed to keep exploring.
