Paris Eternal Notre-Dame VR Experience Ticket with Audio Guide

Step inside a 3D recreation of Notre-Dame for a 45-minute, walk-around virtual reality journey through eight centuries of history.

Getting started

Arrive at Cité de l'Histoire in Puteaux a little before your scheduled slot and have your ticket checked at the entrance. Staff will guide you to the Eternal Notre-Dame VR area, where you receive your VR equipment and a brief orientation on how the experience works. Once you are set up with your headset and backpack, you are ready to enter the virtual cathedral space.

What to expect

Eternal Notre-Dame VR experience

This immersive VR experience lets you explore a detailed 3D reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral across different moments in its history. As you move freely through the virtual space, you follow a curated, time-travel journey that spans from the 13th century to the modern-day restoration. The audio track, available in six languages, shares stories of the people, events, and craftsmanship that shaped this landmark.

Features

• Observe architectural details and viewpoints inside the cathedral that are difficult to see on a regular visit, thanks to the high-fidelity 3D recreation of Notre-Dame.

• Walk around independently with a VR headset and backpack system that tracks your movement, creating a room-scale, interactive environment rather than a seated film.

• Follow a 45-minute narrative path that moves through key historical periods, giving you a sense of how the cathedral evolved over more than eight centuries.

• Listen to an audio track available in English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and traditional and simplified Chinese, so you can follow the story in your preferred language.

• Learn about emblematic figures, legends, and episodes connected to the monument, focusing on the human stories behind its construction, life, and restoration.

• Benefit from included entry to the Eternal Notre Dame VR experience, which is separate from entry to the actual cathedral and its guided tours.

Wrapping up

Your virtual journey ends back at the Eternal Notre-Dame VR area inside Cité de l'Histoire, where you return your equipment and can take a moment to reflect or explore the rest of the venue on your own.
