Description

Meet your guide at Hôtel de Ville and begin your walking adventure in Ile de la Cité, the Island where Paris was born. Soak up the charm of this area which is nestled in the Seine River. Step back in time as your guide reveals the history behind the highlights. Admire from outside the beauty and majesty of Notre Dame Cathedral which, despite the fire that destroyed its roof in 2019 continues to stand majestically. Appreciate how quickly the reconstruction work on the cathedral progressed. Hear about its technical details and Gothic style. Continue to the church of San Severino where you enter this church that is prime example of the Flamboyant Gothic-style. Walk through the Saint Michel Quarter to find one of the most beautiful and hidden squares in Paris which was built by King Henry IV, Place Dauphine. Keep walking for a while until you reach yet another work built by the the same king, the Pont Neuf, the first brick bridge built in Paris. End your tour outside the Saint Chapelle church with a deeper understanding of this magnificent part of the city. Your guide will accompany you to the entrance of the Sainte Chapelle and give you the entry ticket so that you can visit this masterpiece of Gothic art at your own pace.
