Highlights
With the most typical alleys and the prettiest corners of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Anne-Sophie Guerrier opens the doors to a neighborhood you've never really seen. After the war, the Germanopratine youth took refuge in the cellars to listen to jazz; there is all the intelligentsia of the neighborhood: Greco, Gainsbourg, Vian, Aznavour, Brel, Ferré, Barbara, Mouloudji, Cora Vaucaire, but also many American jazzmen. Anne-Sophie takes you from cellar to cabaret, where these artists started, reveals their "little addresses" and introduces you to emblematic sites of Saint-Germain-des-Prés: the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, the Pont des Arts, the Monnaie de Paris, the church of Saint-Sulpice, the Odéon... At each stage of the walk, she shares historical but also crisp anecdotes, illustrated with photographs, about the neighborhood and the lives of the singers and sings a cappella.

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.
