Begin in Square Viviani, a hidden garden steeped in history, then explore the legendary Shakespeare and Company, where literary icons like Hemingway and Joyce once roamed. Discover the stories behind Notre-Dame Cathedral, Parvis Jean-Paul II, Sainte-Chapelle, Palais de Justice, Conciergerie, and the medieval Tour d’Horloge, all vividly brought to life by your guide. Stroll through the vibrant Marché aux Fleurs, soak in the charm of Place de la Dauphine, and finish at the Statue of Henry IV on Pont Neuf overlooking the Seine. With self-guided time inside Notre-Dame combined with expert storytelling outside, this tour reveals hidden literary corners, medieval history, and Parisian culture that most visitors never see, offering a complete, unforgettable experience in the city’s historic heart.

Square Rene Viviani
The tour begins at Square Viviani, a peaceful garden in the Latin Quarter just steps from Notre-Dame. Shaded by old trees and overlooking the Seine, this small square offers a quiet introduction to Paris’s layered history, from ancient Roman roads to medieval Paris. Nearby stands the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookstore, a symbol of Paris’s literary soul. Founded in the 20th century, it became a meeting place for writers such as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and later Beat Generation authors. During a 15-minute stop, your guide will bring this corner to life, sharing stories of the garden, the neighborhood, and the creative spirit that made Shakespeare and Company a haven for writers, artists, and travelers from around the world.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
You will then enter Notre-Dame Cathedral for a self-guided interior visit of approximately 45 minutes. This portion of the experience is not guided, allowing travelers to explore the cathedral independently and at their own pace. Take time to admire the vast Gothic nave, stained-glass windows, chapels, and the remarkable atmosphere of this historic monument. The self-guided visit offers freedom to pause, reflect, and fully absorb Notre-Dame’s beauty before rejoining the group outside to continue the walking tour.
