Description:

Set out for a combination of 2 distinctive tours, visiting the famed Left Bank Musée d’Orsay in the morning and touring the historic Ile de Cité and Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame in the afternoon. An expert guide shares Parisian history and insight into the lives and work of Impressionist masters.

Start with a guided visit of the Musée d'Orsay, which houses the world’s largest collection of Impressionist paintings. Skip the line at this luminous converted train station and learn how forward-thinking artists like Van Gogh and Monet changed the traditional world of European art and paved the way for future artistic movements.

After touring the museum, enjoy a midday break to grab lunch in a nearby café or window shop in Saint-Germain-des-Prés before making your way to the Ile de la Cité—the historic heart of the city—for the second half of your tour.

Walk along the Seine, stroll through the colorful flower market, and admire the medieval clockat the Conciergerie—this imposing structure was once used as a prison, and contains the cell where Marie Antoinette spent her final days.

Cross the cobbled plaza to stand before the breathtaking mass of Notre Dame. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture took almost 200 years to build. Hear about the church's construction and the symbolic details on the gargoyle-adorned façade, gaze up at the 13th-century stained glass windows, and skip the line to climb up the towers and look out over the city from Quasimodo's point of view.
