It's just a very complete audio-guide, perhaps too complete, which doesn't take into account the direction of the compulsory visit to the cathedral, and it's not a queue cutter.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the whole area. Even though it was raining and very cold we all enjoyed our time.

I loved this audio guide! I went to Notre-Dame for its reopening and this guide was the best companion. The stories were super interesting and easy to understand. Plus, you don't need an internet connection, which is great for tourists! If you visit Paris, don't miss it.

I recently visited Notre-Dame after its grand reopening and decided to try this audio guide. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations! The narration was engaging and full of fascinating details, from the history of the stained glass windows to the restoration process. What I loved most is that it didn’t just give facts—it brought the whole experience to life. Plus, the guide is in multiple languages, which was great for our group. A must-have for anyone visiting Paris.
