What to expect
Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the world's great Gothic masterpieces — and one of its most misunderstood. Millions of visitors walk past each year without knowing where to look or what they're seeing. This guided tour changes that.
Led by an expert in art history and the history of Paris, every tour is built around your group's curiosity — a conversation as much as a commentary. You choose the depth of your experience.
Exterior tour (45 min — up to 15 guests)
Stand in front of the west façade and learn to read it like a book. Your guide decodes the three sculpted portals, the Gallery of Kings, the twin towers, the rose window, and the famous gargoyles and chimeras — weaving together 850 years of faith, politics, and craftsmanship into a single, vivid story.
Exterior & Interior tour (1 hour — up to 5 guests)
Everything in the exterior tour, plus access to the newly restored interior. Step inside to discover the soaring Gothic nave, the choir, the extraordinary stained-glass windows, and the remarkable story of the 2019 fire and the reconstruction that followed. With a maximum of 5 guests, this is an intimate, unhurried experience — the most personal way to encounter Notre-Dame.
