On-Site Discovery Tour – Meeting Point: Notre-Dame de Paris Square
The Accueil-Jeunes service of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral offers outdoor tours of Notre-Dame de Paris.
Our volunteer guides provide a tour of the building tailored to the school levels and curricula of the groups. The service can also adapt to any specific requests.
Despite the cathedral’s closure, the one-hour tour allows participants to explore the heritage, history, and spiritual dimensions of this medieval gem.
These tours are free of charge and offered by the cathedral. You can make a donation to the cathedral if you wish.
