Overview

For such a tiny island, Île de la Cité has a lot of stories to tell. This walking tour delves into the city's medieval roots to reveal a fascinating side of the City of Lights. See stunning Notre Dame up close, either from the courtyard or by skipping the line to head inside the iconic cathedral (available from December 2024), which still stands proud after the recent fire. Stroll through the narrow streets and hidden corners of the Latin Quarter. Explore two historic monuments, the prison that once held Marie Antoinette and Paris' most beautiful church, Sainte Chapelle, on a guided tour. Then experience Paris from a different vantage point on an idyllic Seine River Cruise.

Itinerary

Pont Neuf

Your medieval Paris walking tour starts along the Seine at the oldest bridge across the river.

15 minutes
Conciergerie

Next, you'll visit the Conciergerie, the oldest remaining part of the Palais de la Cité. This former royal residence of the kings of France became a prison during the French Revolution, with its most famous inmate being Marie Antoinette. Enter with pre-reserved tickets for a guided tour of this incredible piece of French history.

45 minutes
Sainte-Chapelle

Skip the long lines and step inside to marvel at its stunning stained glass windows. You'll enjoy a more peaceful experience visiting in the afternoon after the crowds have left. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the chapel's history and the significance of the artwork.

45 minutes
Ile de la Cite

Stroll down meandering cobblestone streets where you'll hear the stories and learn of the characters—poets, philosophers, artists—that made Paris the City of Light.

30 minutes
Shakespeare and Company (Pass By)

One of the highlights on your walking tour is the Shakespeare and Company bookshop featured in many films.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

As you approach the iconic Notre-Dame, your guide will take you back in time hundreds of years to when the mighty cathedral (the distance from which all points in France are measured) was first built and Paris looked very different than it does today. You'll be among the first to see Notre-Dame since reopening after the 2019 fire. This tour visits the cathedral's exterior, but your guide will share how you can visit on your own. (Please note: group tours of Notre-Dame resume in June 2025). Before saying goodbye to your guide, they will leave you with a special treat: a river cruise along the Seine where you can drink in Paris's magnificent buildings from a new vantage point. The cruise will last one hour and offers live commentary on board.

45 minutes
