Description:

Explore some of the oldest districts in Paris as well as one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Starting with an enlightening exploration of the historic center, where Paris was first settled, skip the line into Notre Dame to explore the incredible architecture and stained-glass housed within.

Hop aboard a comfortable coach and drive past some world-famous attractions, including the Palais Garnier, home of the original Phantom of the Opera musical, and the awe-inspiring glass pyramid marking the entrance to the vast collection in the Louvre Museum. Continue on to the Bastille and hear the history of this district that saw the beginning of the French Revolution in 1787. Other highlights on the route include the upmarket St-Germain-des-Pres district and the charmingly manicured Luxembourg Gardens.

When weather permits, take a short river cruise to reach the central island, Ile de la Cité. Standing proudly in the center of the island is the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral. Enjoy a thorough guided tour of the exterior and interior of this breathtaking piece of architectural art and learn about its checkered history, from how it was damaged during the Revolution and rebuilt. Wander deep into the cathedral, uncovering statues, stained-glass masterpieces, and giant bells, while gaining a deeper understanding of how important the cathedral is to Parisian life.
