In evidenza

This tour is an immersion in the literary and philosophical past of Paris’s celebrated Latin Quarter as well as the history of the neighbourhood that goes back to Gallo-Roman times. Your guide will be a local expert—a graduate of The Sorbonne in philosophy who also lives in the neighbourhood. In the space of a short time, key periods from the 2000-year history of the Latin Quarter come alive. It all starts with a lively exchange over coffee: you will meet with your guide at a charming café on an Ancient Roman road just steps away from where René Descartes would live on his stays in Paris. After a short introduction and some time to get to know one another, guests set out to explore the hill that includes the Panthéon, The Sorbonne and the childhood haunts of Jean-Paul Sartre, the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and more. Prepare to be completely immersed in the history of Paris!

About Parigi

Parigi unisce grandi boulevard e monumenti sul fiume a terrazze di caffè, collezioni d'arte di fama mondiale e quartieri che sembrano villaggi.

La Senna attraversa il cuore della città, costeggiando l'Île de la Cité con Notre-Dame e la Sainte-Chapelle, la lunga facciata del Louvre e il Musée d'Orsay nella sua ex stazione ferroviaria. Più a valle, la Torre Eiffel si innalza sul Champ de Mars e l'Arco di Trionfo corona gli Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Parigi: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
