Notre-Dame is back. After the 2019 fire, the cathedral has never looked more extraordinary than right now — freshly restored, glowing, and open for the world again. Join a licensed Paris expert guide for the complete Notre-Dame experience with three options to fit exactly how you want to see the cathedral. Option 1 — Exterior Guided Tour & Cathedral Visit (max 20) Enter Notre-Dame yourself for your visit at your own pace, then join your expert guide for an exterior walking tour covering 860 years of Gothic architecture, the gargoyles, the flying buttresses, and the dramatic story of the 2019 fire. Early morning slot means no queues. Option 2 — Interior Guided Tour with Reserved Access (max 9) Step inside the restored cathedral with a state-licensed expert guide, reserved interior access, and professional audio headsets. Semi-private, intimate and genuinely revealing. The fire, the restoration, the nave, the Grand Organ, the hidden details.
