Choose from different ways to discover Notre-Dame Cathedral, whether you prefer a guided visit of the exterior only or a more complete experience that also includes the interior.

All options begin with a guided walk around the cathedral’s magnificent Gothic exterior, where you'll discover the history, symbolism and architectural features that have made Notre-Dame famous worldwide. Admire its sculpted portals, rose windows, gargoyles and flying buttresses, while learning about the extensive restoration carried out after the devastating 2019 fire.

Options that include interior access offer a complete guided experience, with dedicated group entry to the cathedral and a guided visit of the newly restored interior. With the help of provided headsets, follow your guide through the vast nave, stained-glass windows and chapels while gaining deeper insight into the cathedral’s artistic, historical and spiritual significance.

Alternatively, exterior-only options include a guided tour around the cathedral followed by assisted entry, allowing you to continue exploring the interior independently. After the guided introduction outside, enter the cathedral at your own pace and discover its remarkable spaces using the context and insights shared during the tour.

Whichever option you select, this experience offers an engaging introduction to the history, architecture and resilience of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
