Paris Notre-Dame Cathedral Guided Tour - Restored Exterior Commentary & Interior Entry

Discover the restored
Notre-Dame Cathedral with a guide

Meet your guide at Place Louis Lépine in front of Cité metro station and head to Notre-Dame Cathedral. Every option begins with a guided tour of the majestic Gothic exterior, and the tour ends back at the starting point.

Hear the stories behind the Gothic masterpiece's exterior

As you walk around the cathedral, your guide explains the meaning of the sculpted portals, the magnificent rose windows, the famous gargoyles and the flying buttresses regarded as a masterpiece of medieval engineering. You'll also learn how skilled artisans and restorers brought the cathedral back to life after the 2019 fire.

Visit the interior the way you prefer

With an exterior and interior tour option, you enter the cathedral with your guide. The option with skip-the-line access and headsets uses a dedicated group entrance, and you can comfortably follow your guide's commentary through headsets while admiring the soaring stone vaults, stained-glass windows, peaceful chapels and the craftsmanship revealed by the restoration.

With an exterior tour option, your guide accompanies you to the cathedral entrance and assists with the entry process. Afterwards, you explore the interior at your own pace with the historical and architectural background shared by your guide.

※ Exterior tour options do not include skip-the-line access, so there may be a wait to enter depending on crowds and security checks.
※ If Notre-Dame Cathedral is exceptionally closed, the interior visit will be replaced by a 1-hour guided tour of the exterior.
