Additional Information

Travel along with a guide to explore the roots of Paris, soaking in its history and tales. Despite a catastrophic fire in 2019, the Notre Dame Cathedral still stands regally on the Ile de la Cité, a sight to behold. Your journey proceeds to the Church of Saint Severin, allowing you an inside view of a church in classic Gothic style. Ambling through the Saint Michel district, you’ll eventually discover one of Paris’s secret gems: The Place Dauphine, a beautiful square constructed under the reign of King Henry IV. A short walk later, you’ll find another of the same king’s ventures, the Pont Neuf, Paris’s inaugural brick bridge. If you opt for the Sainte Chapelle tour, your guide will guide you to the chapel’s entrance and provide you with tickets to appreciate this Gothic art piece independently.
