  • Notre Dame's reconstruction is complex; expect scaffolding and construction around the cathedral. Be patient and respect the workers restoring this iconic cathedral.

The Notre Dame today

Five years after the devastating fire on April 15, 2019, the major restoration challenges of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral have been successfully tackled. The cathedral is on schedule to reopen on December 8, 2024. Employing traditional methods and materials, the reconstruction endeavors to recapture the cathedral's former grandeur. While the renovation is underway, you can still appreciate the exterior and delve into its history at the adjacent archaeological crypt.

Although access to the square is currently restricted, you can still view the crypt from a distance. Your guide will then take you to the entrance of the crypt, where, after a guided tour, you'll be able to explore beneath Notre Dame. You'll enjoy a self-guided tour of the very foundations of Île de la Cité, the original heart of Paris.

The fire inflicted substantial damage, affecting the roof, spire, and stained glass windows. A dedicated team of architects, engineers, and artisans leads the meticulous reconstruction. With a projected cost exceeding €1 billion, funding relies on global donations. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Notre Dame embodies architectural brilliance, and its restoration serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and hope for Paris and France.

The toys were very good and very reliable. The only downside was that the first part was only for children. I think there are toys that appeal to younger children. Also, all the activities like the parade and seeing the characters were in the second part, which I was disappointed about. The musicals for children were also very nice.

The tour with Martin was great. He told us so much and explained everything really well. It was never boring. He always made sure that all the participants were there before he explained something new. A big thank you.

Sara made Notre-Dame come alive. She explained the history with fun facts and context, answered questions with clarity and kept the group engaged the entire time. Her energy, organization and way of telling the details (architecture, symbolism and key moments) made the visit truly amazing. I highly recommend her: if you want to understand Notre-Dame and really enjoy it, go with Sara.
