Embark on a captivating journey through the history and architecture of Notre-Dame Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece and a symbol of resilience. Begin with a guided exterior tour, where an expert will illuminate the intricate details of the cathedral’s spires, gargoyles, rosettes, and stunning façade. Discover its construction history, cultural significance, and the key events that shaped its legacy. One of the tour’s highlights is an in-depth discussion of the devastating 2019 fire, which destroyed the roof and spire, sparking a global restoration effort. Your guide will share insights into the challenges faced and the remarkable progress leading to its planned completion in December 2024. After the exterior tour concludes, your guide drop you off at the cathedral entrance, where you can explore at your own pace without your guide. Marvel at the vaulted ceilings, vibrant stained glass, and historic altars, and soak in the spiritual grandeur of this iconic landmark. This combination of guided and self-guided exploration offers a perfect balance, allowing you to deeply appreciate the history, artistry, and enduring spirit of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Excelent stories during all of the tour.
Flinke guide! Men sterk fransk aksent som var litt forstyrrende.
