Gothic Splendor of Paris: Notre-Dame & Sainte-Chapelle Semi-Private Tour

Join a guided tour of Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle, two Gothic masterpieces in Paris. Visit the interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral and use pre-reserved tickets for Sainte-Chapelle. Enjoy a semi-private group of up to 5 guests for a relaxed and personal experience.

Begin at the stunning Sainte-Chapelle, built in the 13th century by King Louis IX to hold sacred relics such as the Crown of Thorns. This royal chapel also showed his power and devotion. Step inside to admire 15 tall stained-glass windows that tell more than 1,100 stories from the Bible. They still offer one of the most complete and beautiful views of the Middle Ages.

Just a short walk away, discover the grand Notre-Dame Cathedral, started in 1163 and completed more than 200 years later. Its arches, carvings, and towers made it the heart of medieval Paris. Recall dramatic moments in history: Joan of Arc’s trial, Napoleon’s coronation, and later fame through Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Learn about the 2019 fire that damaged parts of the cathedral, yet left it standing as a symbol of Paris’ resilience. See its façade, towers, and lively square while restoration continues for future generations.

Along the way, your local expert shares anecdotes, symbols, and details most visitors miss. With a semi-private group, you can ask questions, enjoy a relaxed pace, and connect more closely with Paris’ Gothic heritage.

Step into the light of Sainte-Chapelle’s glass, stand before Notre-Dame’s mighty walls, and feel the spirit of Gothic Paris.
