Paris Semi Private Walking Tour of Notre Dame & Île de la Cite
What your day looks like
This tour is a semi-private experience that takes place on an island right in the center of the River Seine, the birthplace of Paris and home to its beloved Notre Dame of Paris Cathedral. The island, known as Île de la Cité, is one of two natural islands as the Seine River flows through Paris. This tour takes you through this history-rich district that hosts gorgeous Gothic churches and historic buildings. On this engaging tour, you will discover the history of Île de la Cité, which was originally home to Roman settlers, how it hosted a palace, and the many subsequent purposes it has served, including a hideaway from enemy attack. However, from 1869 onwards, this once-populated island could only officially be called home by less than 1,000 people. You will be intrigued by your guide’s engaging explanations as you explore the center of Paris. Come take a walk back in time on Paris’ most historic island!
