Description
Guided tour of Notre-Dame Cathedral and its historic Treasury. Explore the reopened interior, then continue inside the Treasury with included tickets. Small group limited to 5 guests.
Begin outside on the Parvis, where your certified guide brings to life the cathedral’s iconic façade, explaining the stories carved into the three great portals, the drama behind the Gallery of Kings, and how the flying buttresses transformed Gothic architecture.
Then step inside the Notre-Dame interior, reopened after the 2019 fire. Beneath soaring ribbed vaults and dazzling stained glass windows, learn how this cathedral became the heart of Parisian faith and culture. Hear stories of Napoleon’s coronation, the relics once kept here—including the Crown of Thorns—and Victor Hugo’s role in saving the cathedral.
Next, enjoy a 30-minute guided visit of the Notre-Dame Treasury, a space few visitors truly understand. Inside, your guide will reveal:
Medieval goldsmith work and centuries-old liturgical vessels
Reliquaries tied to Christ’s Passion and French royal history
Ornate manuscripts and bishop’s vestments
The symbolism behind each object and how the Treasury survived wars, revolution, and the 2019 fire
With your group capped at only 5 guests, you’ll have rare time and space to explore the Treasury’s masterpieces without the rush of larger tours—allowing for questions, close viewing, and deeper understanding.
