Discover the archaeological treasures beneath the Île de la Cité with a ticket to the Paris Archaeological Crypt. Journey beneath Notre Dame and explore an exhibition devoted to the influential figures, Victor Hugo and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, associated with the cathedral.
Ticket Details
This admission grants you entry to the excavated remains beneath the Île de la Cité, where history unfolds.
The crypt resides beneath the esplanade of Notre-Dame Cathedral, a cornerstone of Parisian heritage. Its significance was notably championed in the 19th century by acclaimed writer Victor Hugo and prominent architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
Since its reopening in September 2020, the Paris Archaeological Crypt features the exhibition titled 'Notre-Dame de Paris: from Victor Hugo to Eugène Viollet-le-Duc'. This showcase illustrates how Hugo's literary prowess ignited a movement advocating for the restoration of the cathedral, which faced severe deterioration during the early 1800s, largely fueled by his novel Notre-Dame de Paris, published in 1831.
The exhibition also sheds light on the restoration efforts led by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc between 1844 and 1864. Visitors to the crypt will encounter an array of models of the Notre Dame cathedral, a focus which has gained renewed urgency since the fire on April 15, highlighting the necessity for heritage preservation.
Additionally, while at the Archaeological Crypt, delve into the cathedral's rich narrative through the film Notre-Dame Eterna.
Opening Hours
The Paris Archaeological Crypt welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, operating between 10 am and 6 pm. Please note that last entry is one hour before closing.
This venue is also accessible on select public holidays: July 14, November 1, and November 11, while remaining closed on Mondays, January 1, May 1, and December 25.
