Saint-Germain: Free Tour of Paris's Left Bank

Explore Saint-Germain and the Left Bank on a truly unique tour. Accompanied by an Italian travel journalist, you’ll discover the Jardins du Luxembourg, Saint-Sulpice, historic cafés, and the most fascinating secrets in the heart of Paris.

What if the one telling you about Saint-Germain were a travel journalist who experiences this neighborhood every day?

Hi, I'm Edoardo, and travel is my job. I live in Paris, and Saint-Germain is my favorite neighborhood! That’s why I’ve put together an “insider’s” walking tour that combines the must-see spots on the Left Bank with stories, fun facts, and secrets that often escape first-time visitors to Paris.

From the Jardins du Luxembourg to Saint-Sulpice, from the streets that have seen revolutionaries, artists, and writers pass through to the legendary cafés of Saint-Germain, together we’ll discover a Paris filled with iconic figures, surprising anecdotes, and details you’ve probably walked right past without knowing their stories.

But there will also be time to explore today’s Saint-Germain: as a local, I’ll share some of my favorite spots with you, along with plenty of insider tips so you can continue exploring the neighborhood after the tour.

My goal? To help you discover the magic of Saint-Germain—through its beauty, architecture, stories, and secrets.

See you on the Left Bank!
