Itinerary

1

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Your guide will take you back in time hundreds of years to when the mighty cathedral (the distance from which all points in France are measured) was first built and Paris looked very different than it does today. This tour includes entry to the cathedral. After a brief introduction from your guide about the cathedral's past and incredible restoration after the 2019 fire, you'll go inside for a guided visit of one of Paris' most important landmarks.

2

Ile de la Cite

Stroll down meandering cobblestone streets where you'll hear the stories and learn of the characters—poets, philosophers, artists—that made Paris the City of Light.

3

Sainte-Chapelle

Considered to be Paris' most beautiful church, this 13th century royal chapel was built by King Louis IX.

4

Conciergerie

Pause outside the former royal palace that became a prison, and even held Marie Antoinette, during the French Revolution.

5

Hotel-Dieu de Paris

One of the oldest operating hospitals in France, dating back to the medieval times.
