Itinerary
Your tour begins at Pont Neuf
Meet your private guide by the equestrian statue of Henri IV on Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris. Look for your guide holding a sign, then set off along the Seine as 1,000 years of history unfold.
Stroll into the Square du Vert Galant
Just below the bridge, step onto the Square du Vert Galant, a quiet riverside garden at the tip of Île de la Cité. Your guide shares tales of duels and royalty here while the Seine wraps around you on both sides.
Explore Place Dauphine
Next, head behind the bridge to Place Dauphine, a triangular square framed by 17th-century townhouses. Once a haunt of artists and writers, this calm corner reveals a slower side of Paris few visitors ever find.
Marvel at the windows of Sainte-Chapelle
Then step inside Sainte-Chapelle, the royal chapel built to house Christ's Crown of Thorns. Climb from the painted Lower Chapel to the Upper Chapel, where 15 stained-glass panels flood the room with jewel-toned light.
Pause before the Palais de Justice
Steps away rises the Palais de Justice, home to France's highest courts for centuries. Your guide explains how royal decrees and Revolutionary trials played out behind its façade before heading into the island's core.
Step inside the Conciergerie
Continue to the Conciergerie, a medieval royal palace turned Revolutionary prison. Walk the vast Grand Hall and the stone cells, then stop at Marie Antoinette's final cell, where she spent her last days before the guillotine.
Your tour ends at Notre-Dame Cathedral
Lastly, arrive outside Notre-Dame, the Gothic landmark that has stood for over 850 years. Your guide shares its story of construction, near loss, and restoration from the exterior, where the tour ends and evening begins.
