Notre Dame Quarter Kids & Family Tour with Skip-the-Line Sainte Chapelle

Start your explorations in front of the extravagant Hotel de Ville (which looks more like a fairytale palace), then enjoy a walk along the river banks and through the flower market. Skip the long lines and enter the Sainte Chapelle - home to some of the most dazzling stained glass in the world. The amazing windows should be read like a comic strip - your guide will show you how to read their fascinating stories. You'll see the Conciergerie - medieval palace, revolutionary prison and final home of Queen Marie-Antoinette. Hear tales of kings and queens, how they lived and reigned, and learn about the troubles and turmoil during the French Revolution. Outside the spectacular 850-year-old gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame, learn about the fire that threatened to destroy her, and hear the facts about the amazing medieval builders, whose skills ensured she is still standing today. Admire the gargoyles on the famous bell towers, and don’t forget to look out for Quasimodo!
