Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle & Conciergerie Walking Tour
5.0 / 5 · 19 traveler reviews
At the heart of Paris lies an island that has been sacred for over 2,000 years. On this expert-guided walking tour of Île de la Cité, discover three of the most extraordinary monuments in Europe — Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Conciergerie — brought to life through storytelling, history, and architectural detail most visitors never find. Notre-Dame now stands fully restored after the 2019 fire, more radiant than it has been in a generation. Early morning slots enter the cathedral before the queues form. Small groups only.
