Notre-Dame, Ile de la Cité and St Severin Church Guided Tour

 

The tour meets on the far bank of the Seine river, from where we'll see one of the most famous and most storied cathedrals in the world. And despite the recent fire, Notre Dame still represents one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic architecture.

Outside the cathedral itself, your guide will explain what happened that fateful afternoon of the 15th of April, and how the fire began in the roof, destroying the spire and causing severe damage to the interior. And you'll learn what the Parisian firemen did to preserve the cathedral's jewels as well as possible, with audiovisual aids from our guide.

Once we've spoken about the destruction, it's time to learn about the reconstruction of Notre Dame, what the process will be, and how they're sorting through the hundreds of proposals being sent from architects around the world.

Next we'll take a guided tour of the Ile de la Cité, as we discover the history of this little island in the Seine - the location where the medieval Paris was founded, and admire some of its most emblematic buildings, including Sainte Chapelle or the Conciergerie.

Finally, we'll head to the Latin Quarter to admire one of the best examples of gothic architecture in Paris, the church of Saint Séverin, known as "Notre Dame's little sister" - a smaller but equally beautiful and imposing structure. We'll head inside to marvel at its architecture, stained glass windows and artworks.
