Description
Leave the tourist trail behind on this tour of Sainte-Chapelle and Notre Dame on these two immersive guides as you uncover the Gothic Parisian architecture and learn more about its artistic and cultural significance.
Join local historians on these private tours, who will guide you through an adventure of discovering the secret stories behind the Gothic-style royal chapel and Cathedral, located in the heart of Paris.
Explore Notre Dame’s beautiful facade as we trace the Ile de la Cité’s rich history and understand the spiritual and scientific relevance of Paris’ Point Zero. Wander down the central aisle as we soak in the grandeur of Notre Dame’s architecture and understand the symbolism it holds.
Continue onwards to the famous Tour de l'Horloge and finish with a magnificent view of the medieval remnants of the Palais de la Cité.
Discover the wonders of these magnificent pieces of Gothic architecture located in the heart of Paris.
Explore Notre Dame’s beautiful facade as we trace the Ile de la Cité’s rich history and understand the spiritual and scientific relevance of Paris’ Point Zero. Take a closer look at the statues, murals and paintings and begin to understand the legends behind them.
Join local historians as we observe architectural choices and small details on the cathedral. Observe the depictions on the central doorway which tell the story of the last judgement and hear the sad tale behind Notre Dame’s row of 28 statues? Wander down the central aisle as we soak in the grandeur of Notre Dame’s architecture and look up at the Rose Windows and understand the symbolism they hold.
Then uncover the lesser-known Parisian gem, Sainte Chapelle. Marvel at the world’s finest collection of stained glass and discover relics of Christianity. We’ll also trace the area’s history as we leave the chapel and discover the surrounding Palais de la Cité - the main residence of the French Kings from the 6th to the 14th century.
On this breathtaking audio tour, you’ll join Ed, our resident historian, and Kristen, a local journalist. We’ll not only wander through the Gothic Sainte Chapelle, but we’ll explore the wider significance of this area, which has been at the centre of Parisian power for the past 1700 years. This is the ultimate guide to the Sainte Chapelle and its surrounding area. Our interactive digital audio guide can be downloaded anytime directly onto your smartphone!

About operator:
Too many people visit places without discovering anything about them. And we can’t let that happen.
We believe that the true essence of travelling lies in the joy of discovering the authentic face of cities, neighbourhood and cultural sites, and unlocking the many tales they hold.
With that spirit in our hearts, we started out in search of these stories hidden in the nooks and corners of Paris, London, Cambridge and Oxford's most iconic spots. We then dived into each place’s culture, history, and traditions by collaborating with historians, famous architects, photographers, street artists, and many more. What we ended up finding was a treasure trove of stories that we have meticulously tied together just for you!
But how to deliver this information? We didn’t want to create another Wikipedia, with people looking at their phones instead of the sites. And let’s face it, audioguides and headsets belong to the 20th century.. This is why we’ve created our own storytelling format. Podcast-style tours, enriched with photos and videos, that keep you wanting more.
Our goal is to create a form of travel that will make you truly discover the places you visit.
