Description

Visit Notre-Dame de Paris with a certified French-speaking guide. This tour offers you several options to discover 860 years of history and Gothic architecture, as well as the restoration completed after the 2019 fire.
The tour starts on Parvis Notre-Dame, opposite the west façade. Your guide will show you the three entrance portals with their carved biblical scenes, the Gallery of the Kings and its 28 statues, and the two towers that rise 226 feet (69 meters) into the sky. The guide will describe the 12th-century Gothic construction techniques and recount the story of the fire and the restoration.
Depending on the option chosen, the guide will then accompany you to the entrance of the Cathedral for the interior tour. Entrance to Notre-Dame is free of charge. Inside, you will discover the nave, the three rose windows, and the chapels. The guide will answer your questions throughout the tour.
