Description
Travel back through centuries of Parisian history with this private walking quest created for curious teens. Your family becomes members of the mysterious Stone Key Order, on a mission to uncover the secret of Notre Dame de Paris.
Starting in front of the Hôtel de Sens, your guide will lead you through the winding medieval streets of the Marais, following the traces of the city’s ancient fortifications along Rue du Figuier, Rue Charlemagne, and Rue des Jardins de Saint-Paul. Along the way, you will solve riddles and find clues hidden among towers, walls, and cobblestones.
As the adventure unfolds, you will cross the Seine and reach the parvis of Notre Dame, where the city’s layers of history meet. Your quest concludes in the Archaeological Crypt, a fascinating underground site that reveals Paris from its prehistoric origins to its modern reconstruction.
This unique 2-hour experience combines history, architecture, and play, offering teens an exciting way to rediscover Paris through exploration and storytelling.
Note: Notre Dame Cathedral has reopened, but guided access to the interior for groups is currently subject to specific conditions. For now, the visit will therefore focus on the exterior of the cathedral. You will of course be able to enter the cathedral independently, with an estimated waiting time of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the day and time of your visit.
Meeting point and ending point: Hôtel de Sens: 1 Rue du Figuier, 75004 Paris
