Who are the guides?

Founded in 1967, CASA is a public-interest organization that brings together volunteers committed to sharing cultural and spiritual heritage at major religious sites in France.

At Notre-Dame, a local team of trained volunteers accompanies visitors throughout the year. Their ongoing training includes lectures, reading, teamwork, spiritual guidance, and regular meetings. They freely share their time and skills in a spirit of fellowship nurtured by a shared path of faith.
