Île de la Cité: Walking Tour + Sainte-Chapelle Entry

Additional Information & Description

Île de la Cité brings some of Paris’s historic sights into a single walking tour, with a view of Notre Dame Cathedral from across the Seine. This two-hour visit combines time exploring the island with entry to Sainte-Chapelle, giving you both a street-level perspective and a closer look inside a Gothic chapel.

A guided walk through Île de la Cité

Follow a live, English-speaking guide through Île de la Cité, also known as Notre Dame Island. The route explores historic sites including Place Dauphine and the Conciergerie. These named landmarks give the walk a concrete focus, while the guided format adds context to the places you pass. The itinerary also includes a visit to Shakespeare and Company, bringing a literary stop into a route centred on the island’s historic sights.

Inside Sainte-Chapelle

Entry to Sainte-Chapelle is included. Its colourful stained-glass windows and Gothic architecture are the focus here: after exploring the surrounding streets, you can turn your attention to the chapel’s interior. This admission is part of the same ticket as the guided walk, rather than a separate component to arrange yourself.

Where to start and how to use your ticket

The tour starts at 15 Place du Pont Neuf in Paris. Allow two hours for the activity, which combines the walk and chapel visit. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted, so you can present your ticket digitally. The starting address is the place to head for the beginning of the tour.

What to arrange separately

Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so arrange your own travel to the starting point and onward journey afterward. Food, drinks and gratuities are also outside the ticket price.
