Description

Step back in time and discover the enduring spirit of Paris with our exclusive Reserved Entry with Exterior Guided Tour of Notre Dame Cathedral. While the interior continues its meticulous restoration, its magnificent exterior stands ready to reveal centuries of history, architectural grandeur, and captivating stories.

With reserved entry, you'll join a dedicated timed entrance line, bypassing general queues for a smooth start. Please note, this tour does not include a guided visit inside the cathedral. Instead, your 1-hour exterior guided tour with a passionate local expert will immerse you in Notre Dame's rich history, from its foundational stones to its ongoing rebirth.

You'll explore the cathedral's perimeter, gaining insights into its Gothic architecture—the intricate flying buttresses, gargoyles, and rose windows. Discover the sculptural masterpieces and their hidden meanings etched into its facade. Your guide will highlight the historical significance of events that unfolded around Notre Dame and explain the ongoing post-fire reconstruction efforts. You'll have ample photographic opportunities and hear fascinating anecdotes that bring this iconic landmark to life.

Despite the ongoing restoration, Notre Dame's exterior remains a powerful testament to human artistry and resilience. This tour offers an invaluable opportunity to connect with its legacy and witness its inspiring journey of renewal.
