Overview

Step onto Pont Neuf, Paris’ oldest bridge, and begin a journey through the heart of the city. From royal intrigue to revolutionary drama, Île de la Cité holds the secrets of Paris' past. This island, the very birthplace of the city, has witnessed centuries of triumphs and tragedies, and today, you’ll walk in the footsteps of kings, prisoners, and revolutionaries.

We start at Place Dauphine, a hidden square nestled between history and modern Parisian life. Then, we uncover the chilling past of the Conciergerie, once a medieval palace turned prison, where Marie Antoinette awaited her fate. Next, be mesmerized by the breathtaking stained-glass windows of Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic wonder built to house sacred Christian relics.

As we stroll through cobblestone streets, you'll hear tales of medieval justice, lost treasures, and secret tunnels beneath the Seine. Our journey leads us to the Notre Dame Cathedral, where its legendary gargoyles, stunning façade, and fiery past reveal the enduring soul of Paris.

Join us for an unforgettable experience through time and legend! The tour ends at Notre Dame.

I will be waiting in front of the statue with a badge.

Things to note

The whole tour is outside, so dress according to the weather. The tour is in English, but I also speak Italian, French, Spanish, and Arabic, so I will be able to answer questions in those languages.

The tour doesn't include the interior of Notre Dame.
