1. We start the tour in this lovingly restored church which just happens to be the city's oldest (parts date from 990AD). After a complete tour of the church itself, we will visit the neighbourhood, seeing one of the city's most charming squares & visiting a local food market.

2. We will visit one of the city's oldest passages, where many of the early Revolutionaries lived - Danton, Marat, Robespierre. We will see the city's oldest café, now a restaurant, where Franklin & Jefferson rubbed shoulders with the French Revolutionaries as well as philosophers such as Voltaire. Napoleon reputedly left his hat when he couldn't pay his bar tab!

3. We will visit the remains of the Roman Baths at Cluny - using video & visual material I explain the history & construction of the baths - showing 3D models.

4. The next stop is at the Luxembourg Gardens, one of the loveliest l parks in the city. It holds 110 statues (including a working model of the Statue of Liberty) & many leisure attractions. The park also holds the Luxembourg Palace (built 1612) now home to the French Senate & the Medici Fountain (built 1630).

5. We will see the Pantheon, a mausoleum to the nation's great. It holds the tombs of philosophers such as Voltaire, Diderot & Rousseau, authors such as Hugo, Dumas & St. Exupéry, as well as scientists such as Pierre & Marie Curie. And we will learn the fascinating story of Foucault's pendulum.

6. We will visit one of the city's loveliest baroque churches with the nation's largest rood screen - a carved 30ft wide stone screen. The church holds other baroque treasures which we will see in detail.

7. We end the tour at the Arenes de Lutece, another roman vestige. I explain the fascinating history & construction of the site using video & other visual support.
