Description

Explore Paris’s historic heart on a small-group tour of Île de la Cité, ending with skip-the-line entry to the newly reopened Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Step into the heart of medieval Paris with this semi-private walking tour of Île de la Cité, the island where the city began. Designed for travelers who value expert storytelling and a more personal experience, this 45-minute tour is the perfect introduction to the city’s rich history.

Meet your guide at Métro Cité, facing the Préfecture de Police, and begin exploring the island’s legendary streets, bridges, and courtyards. As you walk, your guide will bring to life the drama and grandeur of sites like Sainte-Chapelle, the Conciergerie, and the Palais de Justice, sharing stories of kings, revolutions, and religious power.

The tour concludes at the forecourt of Notre-Dame Cathedral, where you’ll receive a timed-entry ticket to visit the newly restored interior at your own pace — without waiting in long lines. This self-guided entry lets you admire the Gothic architecture, stained glass, and history inside one of the world’s most iconic churches.

Whether it’s your first time in Paris or a return visit, this experience offers a rich, authentic look into its spiritual and historical core.
