Ticketing and follow up was superb. Pepe even called us to check that we would be on time. We were late. He is a historian, a story teller, and a poet. Oh, very funny. Superb guide. Been to Paris 20 times and he taught us a lot that we never knew about Ile de la Cite. Just superb.

When I signed up for the tour, I believed it would be of the outside of the Basilica itself. Once I found that the beginning was at Pont d Neuf, I change my expectations and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was excellent, enthusiastic, and very informative.

What to expect at Notre-Dame?

1/4

Notre-Dame restored to glory

Now reopened after a meticulous five-year restoration, Notre-Dame stands as a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture and a symbol of Paris’s enduring spirit. The roof and spire, interior elements such as the stained-glass windows and organ, and key structural repairs have given rise to the Notre-Dame Cathedral in new and inspiring light.

French Gothic at its finest

Notre-Dame epitomizes the French Gothic style that emerged in the 12th century. With its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and vast tinted windows, the cathedral achieves a breathtaking blend of height and light. These elements, coupled with its ornate sculptures depicting biblical tales, make it a visual and spiritual marvel, embodying centuries of architectural innovation and craftsmanship.

Quasimodo’s cathedral in art and culture

Notre-Dame's influence extends far beyond its walls. Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame immortalized the cathedral, spurring a renewed appreciation for its grandeur. Its beauty has inspired artists like Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, while its unmistakable silhouette has graced films like Ratatouille, Midnight in Paris, and The Devil Wears Prada.

Home of Christianity’s most sacred relics

Notre-Dame remains a profound symbol of Christian faith and a focal point of Catholic life as the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. It houses significant relics, including the Crown of Thorns, believed to have been worn by Jesus Christ. Even after the devastating 2019 fire, it continues to embody hope, faith, and a deep spiritual connection for millions.

Things to know before you buy your tickets

The Notre-Dame Cathedral has reopened, welcoming visitors and pilgrims once again. Entry is free, but reserving a time slot is highly recommended to skip long queues. Walk-ins are allowed, but lines can be very long, especially on weekends and during peak hours. You can book your slot.
To fully appreciate the cathedral's rich history and meticulous restoration, we highly recommend an interior guided tour. An interior guided tour of Notre-Dame offers an in-depth look at its stunning Gothic architecture, sacred art, and restoration progress. It's a rare chance to experience the cathedral’s spiritual and historical heart from within.
Feel like exploring the cathedral on your own but would like some context on the cultural significance of Notre-Dame? We have you covered with an outdoor guided tour. Led by a local expert, you’ll hear fascinating stories about Notre-Dame’s past, the devastating fire, and the five-year reconstruction, all outside the cathedral, before you explore the inside at your own pace.
Certain areas require separate tickets. Tickets to the Treasury are available for purchase on-site only. The Crypt, located in the square outside the cathedral, offers a fascinating glimpse into Paris’s layered past. Explore the archeological crypt with direct entry tickets.
For a unique twist, consider a food tour that takes you through Île de la Cité and the neighboring Île Saint-Louis. Savor authentic Parisian delights, including stops in the Marais and Latin Quarter neighborhoods, while learning about the city’s history and gastronomy.
