The Highlights

Explore the birthplace of Paris with a guided walking tour across Île de la Cité, from Pont Neuf to Notre-Dame. Hear expert commentary from your tour guide, uncovering the island’s medieval roots, royal intrigue, and architectural wonders. Enter the Notre-Dame Cathedral with reserved access and enjoy a self-guided visit inside its newly restored interior. See everything the island has to offer—from lesser-known treasures like Place Dauphine to icons like the Notre-Dame Cathedral & Sainte-Chapelle.

Notre-Dame Cathedral - Entry is free and open to all, but reservations are required. This tour includes reserved access.

Île de la Cité (Notre-Dame Island)

Sainte-Chapelle (Exterior)

Place Dauphine

Conciergerie (Exterior)

Pont Neuf

Meet your guide on the graceful “new” bridge that is, paradoxically, the oldest surviving span across the Seine. Your tour introduction at Pont Neuf will set the scene for the level of beauty you’ll witness: The Seine River glinting below and Notre-Dame’s towers rising ahead. The birthplace of Parisian history and legend. This is Île de la Cité—more vivid and awe-inspiring in person than any photo could capture.

Island Walking Tour with an Expert Guide

As you pass the Conciergerie and the stained-glass jewel of Sainte-Chapelle, centuries unfold. Royal banquets, revolution-era prisons, and the literary spark that turned a Gothic church into a global icon will flash right in front of your eyes.

Reborn: Inside The Notre-Dame Cathedral

At the reserved time, your guide will accompany you to the entrance and highlight must-see details; then it’s your turn to roam freely. Marvel at freshly cleaned pillars, jewel-box glass, and chapels that now showcase treasures like the rescued Crown of Thorns reliquary. Every step is infused with the triumph of artisans who brought the cathedral back from the 2019 fire.

A Restored Icon for a New Generation

As you emerge from the cathedral, its renewed façade rises proudly above the Seine. The bells ring once again, the scaffolding is gone, and the story of Notre-Dame continues with new life. This tour offers more than a glimpse into the past. With expert storytelling, reserved access, and a thoughtfully crafted route through the heart of Île de la Cité, it’s one of the most immersive ways to experience Paris’s origins and its most iconic monument.

Let the island’s legends, beauty, and resilience leave a lasting impression long after your visit ends.
