When you visit Paris, certain sights are not to be missed, and one of them is Notre-Dame. Rich in its history and bright in its future, Notre-Dame has numerous stories to tell. Hear these fascinating facts through your local, experienced guide and engulf the culture of this city. Despite the fires of April 2019, Notre Dame still stands strong and uplifts the heritage it has to offer. This striking cathedral began construction in 1163 and took over a century to complete and is now Paris’ most iconic and historical building.
Past and present
Walk with your guide to the scene of the fire and hear first-hand perspectives about the historic event. Relive the night, when the world watched in horror as the cathedral caught fire and ashes filled the sky; learn about not only what was lost but also saved. Marvel at the iconic gargoyles and exemplary features of the well-known facade.
