Description

did you know that the Latin Quarter is the oldest place in Paris? This is where it all begins: the origin, history and evolution of this city.

Its name has a fascinating history. In 52 B.C. the Roman villa Lutetia Parisiorum was founded and centuries later the Sorbonne University was born. For generations, this neighborhood was the meeting point for students and thinkers who spoke Latin; since then, the Latin Quarter breathes knowledge, art and rebellion.

In this Free Tour of the Latin Quarter, we will discover the most authentic and vibrant soul of Paris: hidden alleys, mythical bookstores and monuments that condense more than two thousand years of history.

We will visit churches of different architectural styles, Le Procope -the oldest café in the city-, the iconic Shakespeare & Company bookstore, the enchanting Luxembourg Gardens and the majestic Pantheon, where some of the most brilliant minds in French history rest.

A must-see tour for those seeking to understand Paris from its roots, where history mingles with university life, bohemia and philosophy.

Come with curiosity, go with inspiration - let's go together!
