2.Eternal Notre-Dame VR Experience Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,150 reviews · 45 min · from $36

Step into a 3D recreation of Notre-Dame and move through its story from the 13th to the 21st century. You will wear a VR headset and backpack, see construction from unusual angles, and learn about the fire and restoration. The venue is at La Défense, not beside the cathedral itself.

“Not sure what I/we expected ... as my feet were weary from sightseeing was looking forward to a sit down ... but to walk and experience one of the most amazing ventures into the beginnings right through to current NOTRE DAME truly mind blowing. As disappointed as I/we were not to visit and attend a mass IN the cathedral ... we have fortunately experienced this prior and hopefully to get to do again ... sadly due to the horrific fire, we would never have gotten this information and presented so wonderfully. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this opportunity to everyone ... j ♥️ m from Australia”
