Paris Notre-Dame Treasury Guided Tour with Scheduled Slot

Explore the Notre-Dame Cathedral Treasury and exterior with a local guide in a 1-hour visit.

Getting started

Arrive at Notre-Dame Cathedral at your scheduled slot and meet your licensed local guide, who will lead your chosen English or French-guided Treasury tour. Join your group and follow your guide to the Treasury entrance, where your Treasury admission ticket, valid for the Treasury museum only, is organized as a group. Entry to the main cathedral remains in a separate, free-access queue.

What to expect

Notre-Dame Cathedral Treasury

The Cathedral Treasury preserves religious artifacts linked to Notre-Dame’s 850-year history and its role in French religious life. You spend around 30 minutes inside with your guide, focusing on sacred objects that are normally easy to overlook on a self-guided visit.

Features

• During your 30-minute guided Treasury visit, you view religious artifacts, sacred relics, liturgical objects, medieval goldwork, and other historic treasures associated with the cathedral.

• Your Treasury admission ticket covers entry to the Notre-Dame Cathedral Treasury only, not cathedral entry, and your guide uses this time to highlight key sacred relics and treasures.

• With commentary available in English or French, your licensed local guide shares insights into cathedral history and restoration, explaining how these objects connect to Notre-Dame’s past.

Exterior of Notre-Dame Cathedral and its reconstruction

After the Treasury, the experience continues with a 30-minute guided exterior cathedral tour. You stay outside the main structure while your guide uses the façade and visible restoration work to frame the story of Notre-Dame’s Gothic architecture and ongoing reconstruction.

Features

• Across this 30-minute guided exterior tour of the cathedral and its reconstruction, your guide points out elements of the Gothic architecture, such as the famous portals, the Gallery of Kings, and the flying buttresses.

• The tour includes insights into cathedral history and restoration, outlining major events in its 850-year story and the current rebuilding efforts visible around the monument.

• As you move around the exterior, you continue with your licensed local English-speaking guide or licensed local French-speaking guide, depending on the option selected, ensuring the full guided tour in English or French matches your preference.
