Are there presently any tour guide access to Notre Dame. Also at the site of the Pont du Gard I seem to read that the only tours they offer are in . French. Do they offer any tours in English
There will be no tour groups allowed in Notre Dame until sometime in June. For now, just regular people, no guided tours.
Hi johnppapa1!
No guided tours/tour groups are allowed inside Notre Dame until June 9th, not even the spiritual tours led by the volunteer organization "CASA" (Communautés d’Accueil dans les Sites Artistiques / Welcome Communities in Artistic Sites), which are the official tours offered by Notre Dame, in partnership with the Diocèse.
Tour guides/tour companies are still allowed to give tours of the exterior of Notre Dame, but any tour guide/tour company who is offering tours inside before June 9th is not authorized to do so.
Once guided tours are allowed inside, each tour group will be capped at a maximum of 25 people and headphones will be required (which can be rented on-site). Tour guides/tour companies will be required to reserve a time slot online for their group in advance. The reservation system is estimated to launch sometime in April, with new time slots being added gradually. No guided tours/tour groups will be allowed to visit during Mass, or on Saturday afternoons, or on Sundays.
thanks all for the clarification-- i will go on the website and get a reserve time - appreciate the help!
