Notre Dame Cathedral Guided Visit and Towers Climb

About the Event

Cathedral of Notre Dame is world famous, a symbol of Paris and home of the legendary hunchback! Take part in the guided visit to this gothic architecture masterpiece. You will climb the steps up to the fabled towers for a spectacular view of Paris!
Right in the heart of Ile de la Cite, the island where Paris was born, Notre Dame Cathedral stands proudly for over 850 years now. No visit to Paris is complete without seeing the Cathedral, which is now listed as UNESCO World Heritage site. Your expert local guide will accompany you into the church and guide you around the interior, pointing out the dazzling rose windows — some of the largest in Europe — and the relics of Christ’s crown of thorns. Then it’s time to follow in the footsteps of Victor Hugo’s famous hunchback, Quasimodo, the bell‐ringer of Notre Dame, and climb the 422 steps to the towers to enjoy the mesmerizing views of Paris!

Practical Information

*The Tour is held in English.

In high summer there may be long lines to enter Notre Dame Cathedral. If your guide feels that the lines are taking too long on your tour they may choose not to go in at that point, and you will be free to enter at your leisure during free time at the end of the tour.

Your meeting point is at the statue of Charlemagne in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.

On the right side of the esplanade in front of Notre Dame cathedral (as you face the cathedral) is a large bronze statue of Charlemagne on horseback. Your guide will be waiting for you next to the statue. The nearest metros are Cité or St Michel.
