A LIBRARY ETCHED IN STONE

For over 850 years, Notre Dame has watched Paris grow, evolve, and overcome. It has survived revolutions, wars, and even a devastating fire, yet it still stands as the resilient heart of the city. But its true secrets are not just in its survival; they are carved into its walls. Every portal tells a story, every gargoyle has a purpose, and every stone is a page in the epic tale of Paris, waiting to be read.

A JEWEL BOX OF LIGHT

Prepare to be mesmerized. Sainte-Chapelle is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture where the stone walls all but disappear, replaced by a universe of brilliant stained glass. More than just beautiful, these 15 enormous windows tell epic stories in over 1,100 scenes. Our tours help you bypass the long queues, giving you more time to stand in awe of this unforgettable, light-filled sanctuary.

THE CITY BENEATH THE CITY

Directly beneath the bustling square of Notre Dame lies a hidden world. The Archaeological Crypt preserves the very origins of Paris, from the ancient Roman city of Lutetia to the medieval streets of the Middle Ages. To visit the Crypt is to take a literal step back in time. It’s a fascinating journey that reveals the secret foundations upon which the city you see today was built.

BEYOND THE GUIDEBOOK

You can see the landmarks on your own, but a great guide brings them to life. We believe in the power of storytelling to transform a simple walk into an unforgettable experience. Your guide will share the hidden details, strange legends, and captivating history that you'd never find in a guidebook, connecting you to the very soul of Paris in a way you'll always remember.
