2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 3 more

Welcome to the Latin Quarter, this little corner of Paris that breathes culture, history... and everyday life.

During this quiet and human-sized visit, I take you for a stroll in one of the oldest districts of Paris, where the steps still echo from the student debates of the Sorbonne, the verses of the cursed poets, or the whispers of history.

More than just a historical setting, the Latin Quarter is a lively, curious place full of surprises, which I take you to discover at your own pace, without missing anything big and small.

Through this tour, I offer you a look both grounded in the past and connected to the dynamic life of today’s neighborhood. An authentic, quiet and always unique and surprising experience

So if you like old stones, forgotten stories and walks listening to the city... Come with me. The Latin Quarter has not finished surprising you!
