Paris: Hidden Gems of Ile de la Cité and Notre-Dame (Free Walking Tour)

Take a walk across the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, and into the heart of the city. The Île de la Cité holds the secrets of Paris’s past, from revolutionary drama to royal intrigue. Today, you will walk in the footsteps of kings, prisoners, and revolutionaries on this island, which is where the city was born. Over the years, this island has seen millions of good and bad things happen.

We start our trip at Place Dauphine, a hidden square in Paris that is between the past and the present. Next, we learn about the strange past of the Conciergerie, a mediaeval mansion that was turned into a jail and where Marie Antoinette waited for her death. Next, let the beautiful stained-glass windows of Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic wonder built to hold holy Christian relics, enchant you.

As we walk along the cobblestone streets, you’ll hear stories about mediaeval justice, hidden treasures, and secret tunnels under the Seine. We will eventually reach the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is famous for its gargoyles, beautiful facade, and turbulent history. All of these things show how Paris has always been.
