Guided tour of l’île de la Cité

Free tour – tips welcome!

Discover the historic heart of Paris on a walk through the Île de la Cité, the birthplace of the capital.

Starting from the statue of Henry IV on the Pont Neuf, we’ll cross the charming Place Dauphine before exploring the Palais de Justice, learn about the Conciergerie during the French Revolution, and the magnificent Sainte-Chapelle, famous for its exceptional stained-glass windows.

Throughout the tour, we’ll retrace the history of Paris, from the settlement of the Celtic tribe of the Parisii to the major transformations of the 19th century led by Baron Haussmann.
We’ll also discover the fascinating history of the monuments and sites we pass by, before concluding our tour in front of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, a witness to over eight centuries of Parisian history.
