Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Latin Quarter, 75005 Paris France

Meet your private guide on Ile de la Cité to begin your Latin Quarter walking tour at Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Then walk across the Seine and onto the Left Bank, into the Parisian neighborhood that both Hemingway and Fitzgerald, among other writers, once called home. From ancient Roman ruins to the backdrops for Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris, this tour takes you through the centuries that have shaped this historical and cultural district.

Learn about its intellectual roots at the Sorbonne, or discuss the famous thinkers buried under the Panthéon’s majestic dome. Pal around with today’s literati as you browse the stacks at Shakespeare and Company bookstore, and then discover Luxembourg Garden (Jardin du Luxembourg), the most beautiful park for finding a bench and reading a few chapters. There’s no shortage of fascinating stories that your guide shares with you as you stroll along the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter, each more charming than the last.

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Stop At: Ile de la Cite, 75001 Paris France

Once at the meeting point, you will start your tour by exploring ile de la cite, the oldest settlement in Paris. Once known as Lutetia, this former Roman city was the predecessor of present-day Paris, from which the city grew outwards.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, 6 Parvis Notre-Dame Place Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris France

From here, you will see the infamous Notre-Dame Cathedral – the most famous of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages, distinguished for its size, antiquity and architectural interest.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Fontaine Saint-Michel, 7 B Place Saint Michel, 75005 Paris France

You will then pass by the Saint-Michel fountain, a monumental fountain commissioned by Haussmann, under Napoleon III. It depicts the archangel Michael vanquishing the Devil, evoking thoughts of the battle between Good and Evil.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Shakespeare and Company Bookstore, 37 rue de la Bucherie Quartier Latin, 75005 Paris France

Next we will head towards Shakespeare and Company, a bookstore unlike any other. Just minutes from Notre Dame, it is arguably one of the most famous bookshops in the world where literary types from the Beatnik Generation would find a home through the 1950s and 60s.


Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Eglise Saint Julien Le Pauvre, 1 rue Saint Julien le Pauvre, 75005 Paris France

Stop At: Eglise Saint-Severin, Rue des Pretres-St-Severin Quartier Latin, Paris France

You will also see the Roman Catholic church of Saint Séverin, one of the oldest churches that remains standing on the Left Bank and which continues to be used as a place of worship.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Musee De Cluny, 28 rue du Sommerard, 75005 Paris France

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: La Sorbonne, Paris France

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Place du Pantheon, 75005 Paris France

We will then head towards the Pantheon, a building originally built as a church dedicated to St Genevieve, but now functions as a secular mausoleum, containing the remains of notable French citizens such as Voltaire and Rousseau.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Luxembourg Gardens, Rue de Medicis Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris France

We will then go to the beautiful Luxembourg gardens, situated on the border between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter. The gardens, inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence were created in 1612 upon the initiative of Queen Marie de Medici and cover 25 hectares of land.

We will also pass by the Wall of Philip August, the oldest city wall in Paris. The wall was built during the struggles between Philipp II of France and the Anglo-Norman House of Plantagenet, as the French King ordered a stone wall to be built in order to protect the French capital before leaving for the Third Crusade.
