History Lover

The full story — before, during, and after your visit. Our complete companion.

Rose window detail, Notre-Dame de Paris

History Lover includes everything in Essential Visit, plus the full story: a 12-part audio series from the island before the cathedral to the 2019 fire and restoration, told calmly and beautifully in English, French, or Spanish.

You also get the deeper historical route inside the cathedral, medieval Paris stories, the Victor Hugo chapter, an Île de la Cité walking route, a Sainte-Chapelle mini-guide, and a Latin Quarter after-visit route.

Travelling with children? The family & kids mode turns the visit into a gentle adventure — gargoyle-spotting included. And in the apps, all audio is offline-ready.
