Itinerary
The medieval museum of Paris and a very interesting building. We shall provide comment on the building and how it reflects the medieval period in Paris, without visiting the museum inside, as that is an entire tour on its own.
Since the cathedral suffered a fire and won't be accessible for a while, we will still provide comment on it from afar, without entering.
We shall address the importance of Sorbonne, and university as an institution, in the medieval period and Paris in particular.
A very important site for pilgrims, astrologists and alchemists of Paris. Also a pinnacle of flamboyant Gothic style. A must see.
The best place to understand how the life actually was in medieval Paris - both beautiful and (incredibly) cruel.
The contemporary building that was made to be the image of modernity but is, in fact, heavily inspired and influenced by the medieval period. Take this tour and find out how and why.
The institution of the greatest importance in medieval Paris. Don't let the renaissance façade fool you - this site is 100% medieval.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
