On this tour of the Ile de la Cité, we'll walk through the oldest part of Paris, where we'll see Notre-Dame Cathedral from the outside. We'll also go to the beautiful church of Saint-Severin to visit its interior.
We'll meet at the indicated time at the exit of the Ile de la Cité metro station, where the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral is located.
Although we won't enter the interior of the cathedral, we'll see the façade of the church and talk about the fire that struck Notre-Dame on the fateful afternoon of 15 April 2019.
As we admire this iconic cathedral, we'll reveal all the architectural secrets of its towers, the large rose window, and, of course, the unmistakable gargoyles. Would you like to learn about the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame? We'll tell you all about it too!
Next, we'll take a walking tour of the Ile de la Cité, where we'll discover the history of this small island on the Seine River where Paris originated, and admire the exterior of some of its most iconic buildings, such as the Sainte Chapelle or the Conciergerie fortress.
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.
After the guided tour of Saint Séverin, we'll say goodbye outside the church itself, where we'll conclude this 2 hour activity.
