Overview

Notre-Dame Cathedral has stood at the heart of Paris for over 860 years — and after the 2019 fire, it has never looked more extraordinary. Freshly restored, radiant, and open to the world again.

Notre-Dame’s doors are open to all. What we offer is the expert alongside you — the reason 860 years of stone begins to make sense.

Join a licensed Paris expert for a walking tour around one of the world’s greatest Gothic monuments — the Portal of the Last Judgment, the gargoyles, the flying buttresses, and the restoration story told from the outside where the true scale reveals itself.

Three ways to experience Notre-Dame — choose the one that fits your visit:

Guided Walking Tour & Independent Cathedral Entry — walk with your expert, then enter the cathedral yourself
Reserved Interior Tour with Audio Headsets (max 9) — the only option where your guide accompanies you inside
Private Walking Tour & Independent Cathedral Entry — same as the first, exclusively for your group
