Description

Discover Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle on an intimate semi-private tour for up to 5 guests. Step inside the cathedral and enter Sainte-Chapelle with pre-reserved tickets.

Begin at the stunning Sainte-Chapelle, built in the 13th century by King Louis IX to hold sacred relics such as the Crown of Thorns. This royal chapel also showed his power and devotion. Admire 15 tall stained-glass windows that tell more than 1,100 stories from the Bible. They still offer one of the most complete and beautiful views of the Middle Ages.

Continue to the grand Notre Dame Cathedral, started in 1163 and completed more than 200 years later. Its arches, carvings, and towers made it the heart of medieval Paris. Recall dramatic moments in history: Joan of Arc’s trial, Napoleon’s coronation, and later fame through Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Learn about the 2019 fire that damaged parts of the cathedral, yet left it standing as a symbol of Paris’ resilience. See its façade, towers, and lively square while restoration continues for future generations.

Step into the light of Sainte-Chapelle’s glass, stand before Notre Dame’s mighty walls, and feel the spirit of Gothic Paris.

Good to know before you go
  • Respectful clothing is required to enter the cathedral. Shoulders and belly must be covered, thighs at least half-covered, and transparent clothing is not permitted. Entry may be denied if these rules are not respected.
  • The Cathedral may occasionally have unforeseen access restrictions for groups due to liturgical celebrations. In such cases, your guide will provide explanations from outside the cathedral.
  • Sainte-Chapelle may close without notice due to strikes. In this case, the tour will continue as a guided walking tour of Paris.
  • Arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour starts. Late arrivals cannot join once the tour begins.
  • Fast-track entry is not available at Notre-Dame; all visitors must pass through mandatory security screening, which may cause a short wait.
  • The 2019 fire damaged parts of Notre-Dame, but restoration is ongoing.
  • Group size is limited to 5 guests for a personal experience.
  • Tips for your guide are appreciated.
