A curated journey through the experience
Musee De Cluny
The building that sublimates the history of the Latin quarter, of Paris, and indeed of the entire Europe. During the visit we shall only address it from the outside, without entering the museum, as that is a separate visit.
20 minutesSorbonne
University of Sorbonne, the centre of the Latin quarter and the second oldest university in Europe.
15 minutesPlace du Pantheon
The former centre of the city while it was called Lutèce and occupied by the Romans, nowadays the site is dominated by a megalomaniac building acting as a mausoleum. The visit does not include the entrance to the Pantheon as that is a separate tour in itself.
15 minutesEglise Saint-Etienne-du-Mont de Paris
The most layered and complex piece of architecture in the entire city of Paris. A must see.
15 minutesPlace de la Contrescarpe
the back of the Latin quarter, not nearly as frequented and popular as rue de la Harpe, but just as charming, if not more so
10 minutesLuxembourg Gardens
One of Paris' most beautiful parks, with an intriguing history
20 minutesShakespeare and Company Bookstore
The legendary anglophone bookstore, library and a publishing house
