Step inside the newly restored heart of Paris
Step inside the newly restored Notre-Dame with a licensed expert guide.
Over ninety minutes we explore the restored nave, the centuries-old chapels and the stained glass, pointing out the details that the crowds rush past.

What to Expect
We gather beside the church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, a short walk from the cathedral, and your guide sets out the story before we go in: how Notre-Dame was built, what happened in April 2019, and what the restoration involved.
Inside, we step into the restored interior, where the cleaned stone is lighter than most visitors expect, and take in the scale of the building from within. We move through the side chapels and pause at the rose windows, reading the stories in the glass and the symbolism carved around them.
This is a calm, unhurried visit designed for travellers who want depth rather than crowds, with plenty of time for questions along the way. The tour finishes inside the cathedral, so you are free to stay on, sit quietly, or carry on exploring the Ile de la Cite in your own time.
Tour Highlights

The cleaned stone is lighter than most visitors expect, and the scale of the building only really lands once you are standing inside it.
See the centuries-old side chapels and pause at the rose windows, away from the flow of the crowd.
Your guide shows you how to read what is in the glass, and the symbolism carved around it.
Flying buttresses, vaults and symbolism, made clear without the jargon.
Our guides are licensed to guide inside France's monuments and museums, so this is a real guided visit rather than an audio guide, with time for your questions throughout.
