After the terrible fire that ravaged the emblematic Parisian cathedral in April 2019, the work is finally finished and Notre-Dame de Paris is reopening its doors to the delight of Parisians and tourists. Of course, Uber was not going to miss this opportunity to offer an immersive experience outside of time.

With a sedan in the colors of Notre-Dame, Uber is putting Paris and the Île de la Cité in the spotlight for a few days. Cherry on the cake ? Lorànt Deutsch joins us for the ride through a new podcast. It was therefore impossible for us not to get on board to live the Uber Notre-Dame experience.

A perfect activity to (re)discover Paris

Ah… We missed Notre-Dame. More than five years after its fire, the most famous cathedral in the world is back, more beautiful and sparkling than ever. It is on this occasion that Uber decided to allow its users to experience a… very Parisian journey.

Uber has pimped a sedan with a design that takes up the striking elements of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Thus, its exterior is covered with an ancient stone effect and we note the presence of magnificent arches and the rose window of the South window. Also, two gargoyles are perched on the roof of the vehicle and watch over the passengers. Finally, inside, its panoramic roof is covered with a reproduction of the stained glass windows of the monument. It couldn't be more immersive. Once in this rather special Uber, all you have to do is observe the Île de la Cité and, of course, Notre-Dame. We had a lot of fun with the astonished looks of the passers-by we passed.

On board, Uber asked Lorànt Deutsch to make us experience “the beautiful Paris”. For a twenty-minute journey around Notre-Dame de Paris and the Île de la Cité, the actor and writer with a passion for history tells anecdotes about the famous cathedral in a podcast specifically designed for the experience. Enough to (re)discover the History of Paris in optimal conditions.

While we may not have expected much, it's true that this experience turned out to be surprising and quite enriching. If you are one of those Parisians who no longer marvel at the beauty of the City of Lights or if you are planning a Parisian trip as the end-of-year holidays approach, this could be a good activity idea.

Especially since Uber has chosen to offer this experience for free. Thus, from the Quai du Louvre in Paris, anyone can order an Uber Notre-Dame ride for a free historical trip around the famous cathedral. It's available until December 22.

We, in any case, learned a lot of things. You know what a “bonbec” is, you ? And no, we’re not talking about candy. To discover our experience with Uber Notre-Dame, it’s here :
