Eternal Notre-Dame

Visit Notre Dame Cathedral across the ages through this incredible immersive experience.

Travelling through time

The image of the spire of St Michael, glowing as it broke up in the devastating fire of April 2019 has moved the world. Reconstruction is in full swing, making visits impossible.

However, the Eternal Notre Dame adventure offers you a unique, magical portal to safely enter this historic monument.
Let it carry you back in time to discover all the stages of the cathedral's construction. A journeyman builder will guide you through the pillars and eras. From the nave through the chancel to the apse, he will reveal the trades and techniques used to build this masterpiece.

Never before seen

This must-see tour reveals parts of the cathedral that are usually inaccessible. Your discovery of the cathedral will reach an unprecedented level of detail and give you a new vision of it. You can almost touch the stained glass windows in the nave.

Technology that inspires

To make the immersion as realistic as possible, a team of 25 virtual reality experts advised by history scholars have been developing this programme for over two years.

The result is breathtaking: You will physically feel your journey — every stone, and every gust of wind atop the towers, where you will discover an incredible panorama of 13th-century Paris. The technology fades away during the 45-minute experience to make way for the artistic and historical content of the immersive journey.

Are you ready to travel through 850 years of history and unveil the secrets of the Eternal Notre Dame?
This fantastic virtual reality experience is also available at La Cité de l'Histoire located under the Grande Arche de la Défense.
