Experience the true heart of Paris with easy, hassle-free access to two of its most iconic landmarks, both nestled on the historic Ile de la Cite. This small island, cradled by the Seine River, is where the story of Paris began. Stroll along its cobblestone streets and discover the layers of history, culture, and architecture that have shaped the city for centuries. Every corner of this enchanting island reveals a piece of Parisian heritage, from charming bridges and riverside views to centuries-old buildings that whisper tales of the past.
Be among the first to witness the magnificent restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the world’s most celebrated Gothic masterpieces. After years of dedicated craftsmanship following the devastating 2019 fire, the cathedral now stands renewed, its spires, stained-glass windows, and intricate stonework more radiant than ever. This immersive journey through Ile de la Cite invites you to step back in time and experience the grandeur, spirituality, and enduring beauty that define the very soul of Paris.

Happy to once again have the views of Paris that Victor Hugo and Eugene Viollet-Le-Duc would have shared over a century ago. Tickets were available through the National Monuments website.
A truly wonderful visit, but it's well worth the effort. There are over 400 steps to climb, but it's manageable. In three stages, you can admire the superb work of the carpenters and other tradespeople. Once at the top, the view is breathtaking. I would only mention two drawbacks: the price (€16) and the limited time at the summit (5 minutes). And remember to book your time slot online.
A must do visit! Best view in town. Worth it especially if you are under 25 cause it’s free 😅
Stunning architecture but badly organized and very little time to enjoy the view. Apparently they have to adhere to a very rigid maximum number of visitors at any given time. Probably therefore we were waiting for a long time inside half way up before being able to climb to the balcony below the bells. After about ten minutes there (view towards the Southwest only) we were let up to the top. “Five minutes at the top, non-negotiable” was all. The view from the top (all directions) is nice, but you are inside a safety net which is quite tight. That interferes with both the view and photography. There are better viewpoints in Paris. Without non-negotiable five minute limits. Back half-down you continue to the space between both towers. That was the most interesting part of the tour in my opinion. Very interesting architecture, a glimpse of the famous “forest” under the outer roof, sculptures. And the mighty sound of the bells if you get the timing right (which is hard because of the strange logistics)! You get to see only the two largest bells in the South tower, not the more frequently used ones on the North tower. But those are loud enough outside, too. Overall: A unique tour with fascinating architecture, but very expensive if you mostly pay for the view from the top. And the logistics will hopefully be improved; we were there only about one month after the reopening.
We were excited that our trip coincided with the reopening of Notre Dame’s towers. We last climbed them 10 years ago but, this time, the route seemed safer and more logical. The new additions (store, new stairs) felt in keeping with the history. It was definitely a.lot of stairs (424 per the web) but the views on our overcast October day were well worth it. My only complaint is we didn’t get to tour on the gargoyles level. We climbed up to a holding area but were not allowed to roam outside, then up to the roof. On the way down, again could not go out to the gargoyles. Definitely recommend for anyone willing to work for the views! It was fun! So glad it’s back open.
