Itinerary

Musee De Cluny

20 min

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.
Sorbonne

15 min

University of Sorbonne, the centre of the Latin quarter and the second oldest university in Europe.
Pantheon

15 min

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.
St. Etienne du Mont

15 min

The most layered and complex piece of architecture in the entire city of Paris. A must see.
Place de la Contrescarpe

10 min

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
Luxembourg Gardens

20 min

One of Paris' most beautiful parks, with an intriguing history
Shakespeare and Company

15 min

The legendary anglophone bookstore, library and a publishing house
