About this experience

This is where Paris all began, at its historic heart: Île de la Cité. Your expert guide will lead you through a journey starting with the grandeur of the royal Sainte Chapelle, followed by the fascinating Conciergerie, and concluding with the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, the birthplace of Gothic art. In 2026, the Conciergerie will go through major renovation works. We'll visit the recently reopened Middle Ages Museum, Cluny. This experience is a must for anyone eager to discover the true cradle of Paris.
