About

Join a guided tour of two Gothic sites in Paris: Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle. Gain insights from an expert guide. Notice the details that many visitors miss at both monuments.

Start at Sainte-Chapelle, built in the 13th century by King Louis IX. See its 15 stained glass windows that depict over 1,100 biblical stories, showcasing medieval art.

Then visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, which started in 1163 and took over 200 years to finish. View its intricate arches, carvings, and towers. Hear about Joan of Arc, Napoleon’s coronation, and the novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Learn about the 2019 fire and ongoing restoration work.
