Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop atSainte-Chapelle
Gothic art is the first truly grand and unique gift the French culture and history bestowed upon the world. Notre Dame, which we also love, understand and visit, is grandiose, monumental, majestic; but, Sainte Chapelle presents us with the same inspiration, same idea and same ambition, only compressed into a much smaller edifice. It is therefore all the more impressive; truly, it is a perfectly cut jewel, with not a single superfluous square inch. Our guides will enjoy sharing their passion for Gothic art with you; they will gladly explain the meaning of colour in medieval period, symbolism of contracted and expanded space, elevated mystery of light, and ingenious engineering behind this chapel. Learn about the difference between the chapel, church and a cathedral; between the holy and the sacred; between the profane and the consecrated space; about the role relics had in the medieval period; finally, about what truly constitutes the house of God.
45 minutes (approx.)・Admission included
Stop atConciergerie
After this uniquely moving spiritual experience, visit the Conciergerie and learn about its history, from Gothic to revolutionary period. Learn about the French revolution and how it changed this former royal palace, which famous historic figures it had as inmates, and how this edifice connected one of the most inspired periods of French history to one of its most bloody and, at the same time, glorious ones. This edifice truly is the place where the sacred and the profane come together in a singular space.

History Brought to Life!
Mira M, Dec 2024
Our private tour of Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie with Boris was unforgettable. Boris was absolutely fantastic. He was able to blend deep historical knowledge with captivating storytelling. Some information I don't think we would have been able to get on any other tour with anyone else, his expertise is amazing. He brought the stained glass of Sainte Chapelle and the history of the Conciergerie to life, leaving us in awe.
Boris’s enthusiasm and insightful discussions made it feel like we were stepping back in time. He was able to answer any questions we threw at him! He also gave great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Paris. His passion and expertise transformed our tour into an extraordinary experience!!!!
Thank you, Boris, for making our visit truly special!

Didn’t really know what to expect when we booked a private tour of Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame, but Boris literally brought these places to life with amazing details and stories. Left us in awe and hungry to learn more. Also recommended some great cafes and other places to visit. Set the tone for our entire trip to Paris.
