Step into the Paris you have seen on screen. Explore the ancient church, legendary cafés, artistic landmarks, literary streets, and Revolution-era passageways of Saint-Germain-des-Prés with stories grounded in what guests can see along the route.
There is a reason filmmakers, writers, artists, and dreamers return to Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Its café terraces, stone façades, intimate squares, galleries, and narrow streets have helped shape the world’s image of Paris.
Starting outside the Église de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, your local guide connects the neighborhood’s long history to the writers, painters, philosophers, publishers, revolutionaries, and filmmakers who used these streets as a workplace, meeting place, subject, or stage.
