On April 15th, 2019, one of Christianity’s greatest icons suffered a terrible fate. An electrical spark from a temporarily installed elevator set off a horrific blaze that destroyed the roof and spire of the Cathedral. The burning embers fell inside the church, creating more damage. A testimony to man's inventiveness, Notre Dame took 162 years to build, but only a few hours to burn. Happily though, for humanity and for our legacy to future generations, most of the treasures – the relics, artwork, statues and magnificent stained-glass windows – were saved thanks to the efforts of the brave firefighters and church staff who rescued these treasures and fought the blaze.
After a titanic 5-year effort, the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris has been reborn, more beautiful and magnificent than ever. This in-app audio tour will guide you through the newly renovated building, enabling you to discover or rediscover its beauty, its grace and its treasures.
Tickets are not included in this tour – those may be procured on the Cathedral’s website (click here to make a reservation). Tickets are free, but must be booked in advance, and for a specific time and date. Visitors may also enter without a ticket, but the lines can be long, especially at peak times mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
Whether you are a pilgrim or just a simple tourist, take the time to savor the beuaty of this magnificent monument - one that belongs to all of humanity, not just Christians.
