Because all monuments visited on this excursion are located along the Seine, we suggest using an unusual means of transportation : the river shuttle. The day starts off with a guided visit of the main rooms and masterpieces of the Louvre Museum. Then, the shuttle takes you to the Eiffel Tower where lunch is served in the unique setting of the new restaurant on the 1st floor of the Tower.

Then, off with the river shuttle again to Notre-Dame Cathedral. A guided tour of this gothic work of art built between 1163 and 1345.
Note:
- Our excursion ends at Notre-Dame. If you wish, you can buy an extra ticket directly on the site to visit the towers in search of Quasimodo! - The skip-the-line access is subject to the Louvre museum procedures: The Vigipirate plan, the security control or an unforeseen crowd can slow down the entrance.
