With longer days and warmer temperatures during the spring, Paris opens itself to unforgettable moments, blending history, art, and culinary wonders. The streets are adorned with the bright colours of blooming flowers and sunlit boulevards, while the delightful aroma of fresh pastries drifts from lively cafés.
Whether wandering through its charming gardens or admiring its timeless monuments, spring in Paris isn’t just a season; it’s an opportunity to ignite your senses and fall in love with the City of Light all over again.
Notre-Dame de Paris Reawakens
Just in time for the season of renewal, Notre-Dame officially reopened its doors to the world in December 2024. This iconic symbol of Paris invites visitors to explore its majestic beauty and rich history, aligning perfectly with the vibrant celebrations for Easter 2025, hosting its first Easter Mass since the restoration.
For centuries, Notre-Dame has symbolised the intersection of faith, history, and art, captivating millions with its magnificence and significance. Construction of the cathedral began in 1163 and continued into the 14th century, resulting in one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Its exterior façade stands as a testament to medieval craftsmanship. Inside, the towering, vaulted ceilings, intricate carvings, and radiant rose windows create an atmosphere of sublime grandeur.
Notre-Dame is not just a spiritual landmark but a symbol of human creativity and perseverance. The devastating fire in 2019 left the world in mourning, but the restoration efforts have transformed that sorrow into hope. Its reopening marks a new chapter in its history, reaffirming its role as a cultural and spiritual cornerstone of Paris and a testament to the enduring power of human determination.
To enrich your visit to this beautifully restored landmark, consider booking a private behind-the-scenes tour, offering fascinating insights into the restoration process and the expertise that brought the site back to life. For a distinct experience, enjoy a luxury yacht cruise along the Seine River, where you can take in impressive views of the cathedral while indulging in exquisite dining and sommelier-curated wine selections.
