Before you step into the legendary, awe-inspiring Notre-Dame Cathedral, uncover the story behind the stone. This guided walk is your prelude — a curtain-raiser to the main act — where you’ll uncover the history of Île de la Cité and the monument itself. And yes, sometimes the Devil does make an appearance.

Led by a professional actor with a taste for the dramatic, this is not your usual “list of dates and names” tour. Wander the ancient streets, tracing the shadows of dark tales, tragic deaths, strange illnesses, and whispered scandals that cling to the island. Hear bizarre and unforgettable anecdotes — the kind that will have your friends leaning in closer when you tell them later.

From unsettling mysteries to history’s unpolished edges, every stop is staged like a scene in a play, bringing to life the human drama Notre-Dame has silently watched for centuries. By the time you reach the cathedral’s doors, you won’t just be ready to see it — you’ll be ready to feel it.

Come for the monument, stay for the performance, and leave with stories that will haunt your dinner conversations for years.
