Step into the heart of Parisian history on a small-group Paris Notre-Dame Cathedral tour, limited to just 6 guests for a personal and enriching experience. Begin outside on the cathedral’s iconic Parvis, where your expert guide brings to life the symbolism carved into the three great portals, the stories behind the Gallery of Kings, and the religious and political drama etched into the stone. You’ll walk along the southern side to admire the South Rose Window from the outside, and see the flying buttresses that revolutionized medieval architecture and helped save the structure during the 2019 fire.

Then, follow your guide into the newly reopened interior of Notre-Dame. Inside, stand beneath the soaring ribbed vaults of the nave, where light pours through brilliant stained glass. You’ll explore the side chapels, view sacred altars, and learn about the relics once housed here—such as the Crown of Thorns—and the significance they held for centuries of worshippers. Along the way, your guide will share the story of Victor Hugo’s impact on the cathedral’s restoration, how Napoleon was crowned emperor here, and how artisans today are rebuilding it by hand, stone by stone.

This tour offers a rare opportunity to experience both the outside and inside of Notre-Dame in depth, with the added value of a passionate guide and a small group that ensures a thoughtful, unhurried experience.
