I know it was an archeological tour. It was very interesting but then a little boring. I guess I was expecting relucs from Notre Dame also
I thought it was Notre Dame crypt it is NOT clear it was roman remains. It was too dark and not good enough to see everything. The shop is not accessible when you leave.
This was a really interesting piece of history, basically beneath Notre Dame. I was really happy to see that it has been preserved and is available for people to see. It's an easy tour and you can take as much time as you need.
We had been to Paris several times before but this was really a winner. We went mainly for Notre Dame. Well we thoroughly enjoyed that. The crypt was a highlight so cleverly exposed. Also the new cathedral was very nice weather to see the cathedral in its full glory. We enjoyed

Ticketing experience was fine...no hiccups. The site itself was unlike anything I expected...it was not as related to the actual
the exposition is done extremely good, we got an wonderful overvue of the beginning of Paris
The tour of the history of the city of Paris is very well done. It makes you want to read everything (or almost everything).

We went to the Notre Dane experience with 4 children aged 8 to 16. It was too long for the youngest child as there is no guided tour in German. Everyone else was thrilled. I myself had to take my glasses off several times because I was getting dizzy. The tour provides historical background in a very youth-friendly way.

Unique experience - not to be missed and good value
We were told by staff outside Notre Dame that all bookings had been cancelled due to the Pope passing away. We were not informed of this and would not find anyone from the Heading Out team. I have emailed about a refund and not heard back. A very expensive experience for 3 people when we got nothing!
Never found anyone from your organization.

Notre-Dame Cathedral
Archaeological Crypt of the Île de la Cité:
Yes, Notre-Dame Cathedral reopened to the public on December 7, 2024, after five years of restoration following the 2019 fire. The cathedral is now fully accessible to visitors.
The restoration aimed to return Notre-Dame to its original splendor. Efforts included cleaning soot from walls and statues, repairing artworks, and reconstructing the roof and spire to match their original designs. The interior now features cleaned stone and paintings, as well as renovated or new furniture, enhancing its beauty while preserving its historical integrity.
While entry to Notre-Dame is free and does not require a reservation, to reduce waiting times, visitors have the option to book a free access slot online a few hours before their visit. This is optional and intended to streamline entry.
Currently, guided tours are not conducted inside the Cathedral to preserve the sanctity of the space and manage visitor flow. However, visitors can enhance their experience using the official mobile app, which offers tailored tours and spiritual content.
Visitors can purchase a richly illustrated visitor’s guide for €10, available in French, English, and Spanish, highlighting key aspects of Notre-Dame's history and architecture. Additionally, the official mobile app provides tailored tours and spiritual content to enrich your visit.
Notre-Dame has resumed its regular schedule of masses. Masses are held daily at 8am, 12pm, and 6pm, each lasting about one hour. Attending mass is a meaningful way to experience the cathedral's spiritual ambiance.
There is no admission fee to enter Notre-Dame Cathedral during mass or at any other time. The Church opposes entrance fees, so visiting remains free.
The Archaeological Crypt, located beneath the Notre-Dame Cathedral, houses artifacts and ruins dating back to ancient times, offering insights into Paris's history from the Roman era to the present. It's a fascinating site for those interested in archaeology and the city's origins.
As of now, the Bell Tower remains closed to visitors due to ongoing restoration work. It's advisable to check the official Notre-Dame website for updates on its reopening.
There are no specific age restrictions for visitors to Notre-Dame Cathedral. However, children should be accompanied by adults, and it's recommended to supervise them closely, especially in crowded areas.
