Overview

When you come to Paris Notre Dame is an icon you cannot miss. Though it suffered damage from the fire April 15, 2019, you can still discover the history, tragedy and bright future of this beloved cathedral with our Notre Dame walking tour.
You’ll learn how it began in 1163 and took over a century to finish. You’ll relive the night of the fire, hearing what was lost but also what was saved.
Walk with your guide around the scene of the fire, as they share first-person perspectives about this historic event. You’ll admire the iconic features of the well-known facade, including the towers and legendary gargoyles, reliving the moments when their survival was uncertain.
Get as close as possible to Point Zero, the geographic center of Paris.
Finish your walking tour at the entrance to the archaeological crypt below Notre Dame. Learn about this unique site before going underground for your self-guided visit to the very foundations of Île de la Cité, the original Paris.

It was great to learn the history of Notre Dame, but we also learned about the recent fire and when it is expected to reopen. Our guide, Sophie, was great! A wealth of information with a touch of humor.
