Paris Île de la Cité: Notre-Dame & Sainte-Chapelle Walking TourYou walk the perimeter of Île de la Cité with an expert local guide, starting at Henri IV's statue and moving through Place Dauphine, past the Conciergerie and Palais de Justice, to Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame's exterior. The 90-minute tour includes the history behind each stop—why the buildings matter, what they were used for, how they shaped Paris.
