The program in detail

Private Stone Cutting Workshop & Notre Dame History

Your adventure begins with a 1h15 to 1h30 hands-on stone cutting workshop led by a professional stonemason. Under expert guidance, you will discover the ancient craft that shaped the greatest monuments of Paris, including Notre-Dame Cathedral itself.

Using safe tools adapted for all ages and skill levels, every participant will get the chance to try out traditional techniques in a fun, relaxed, and truly unique atmosphere. By the end of the workshop, you will have created your very own carved stone piece, a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home!

Walk Through the Heart of Medieval Paris

From the workshop located a few minutes away from the cathedral, your stonemason will guide you on a 30-minute walk through the Île de la Cité, the historic island at the very heart of Paris. As you make your way towards the Cathedral, you will discover the fascinating history of this iconic island, bringing the stories of medieval Paris to life in a way that connects directly to what you experienced during the workshop.

Explore Notre-Dame at Your Own Pace

Upon arriving at Notre-Dame, your stonemason will hand you a specially designed activity booklet, giving you the freedom to explore the Cathedral at your own pace. Packed with activities, observations, and stories, the booklet will guide you through Gothic architecture, gargoyles, stunning stained glass windows, and centuries of Parisian legend, making the visit as engaging as it is memorable.
