Overview

Why is this ancient part of Paris called ‘le Quartier Latin’? Visit the true gem of several layers of history, on a private guided walk and get an idea of what the city looked like during the Middle Ages. As one of the oldest remaining parts of the city as well as a university center of Paris, it's a place where history and youth come together in a unique urban synthesis.

Meeting and Pickup

  1. The building that sublimates the history of the Latin quarter, of Paris, and indeed of the entire Europe. During the visit we shall only address it from the outside, without entering the museum, as that is a separate visit.

  2. University of Sorbonne, the centre of the Latin quarter and the second oldest university in Europe.

  3. The former centre of the city while it was called Lutèce and occupied by the Romans, nowadays the site is dominated by a megalomaniac building acting as a mausoleum. The visit does not include the entrance to the Pantheon as that is a separate tour in itself.

  4. The most layered and complex piece of architecture in the entire city of Paris. A must see.

  5. the back of the Latin quarter, not nearly as frequented and popular as rue de la Harpe, but just as charming, if not more so

  6. One of Paris' most beautiful parks, with an intriguing history

  7. The legendary anglophone bookstore, library and a publishing house
