♡ Save
Discover with this Free Tour the most iconic corners of the Latin Quarter of Paris, one of the most historic areas of the city, famous for its bohemian and student atmosphere.
We will meet next to Place Saint-Michel at Café la Rive Gauche... We will walk along Rue du Chat Qui Pêche or the street of the cat that fishes. Do you know why it receives this peculiar name? Then, we will go to the Shakespeare and Company bookstore, where we will discover its history.
Afterwards, we will continue our tour until we reach the church of St. Julien le Pauvre, the first seat of the University of Paris. The next stop will be at the church of Saint Severin, and from there we will head to the Cluny Museum, where we will learn about those who dared to challenge the power of Notre Dame, a story that will leave you in awe!
We will continue our tour at the Place de la Sorbonne, and from this esplanade we will head to the Pantheon of Paris. This monument houses the remains of such illustrious personalities as Marie Curie and Louis Braille. The next stop will take place in the lush Luxembourg Gardens, one of the most emblematic parks in Paris.
Finally, after a tour of approximately two and a half hours, we will conclude this free tour of Paris in the historic center of the city.
