Discover the magic of Notre-Dame Cathedral on a private tour. Learn about its history, architecture, and ongoing restoration with a licensed guide.
Experience the magic of Notre-Dame before the crowds arrive. On this private 1h-tour, your licensed guide will bring the story of this Parisian icon to life, from its Gothic architecture to the dramatic events that shaped it.
We’ll begin outside, where you’ll learn about the cathedral’s history, architectural secrets, and the reconstruction following the 2019 fire. Then, we’ll enter together through the general entrance — beating the afternoon crowds and enjoying a calmer, more peaceful visit. Inside, your guide will share insights on the soaring vaults, stained glass, and symbolic details many visitors miss.
This isn’t a rushed visit or a scripted audio tour—it’s a personal experience designed around you, with a knowledgeable guide to adapt the pace to your interests. Whether it’s your first time in Paris or a return visit, this tour offers a meaningful way to discover Notre-Dame and connect with one of the world’s greatest landmarks.
