Itinerary

  1. Quartier Latin

    Passing by

    The Latin Quarter, on the left bank of the Seine, is one of the oldest and liveliest in Paris. Renowned for its academic and intellectual atmosphere, it is home to the Sorbonne, one of the world's most prestigious universities, as well as numerous bookshops, literary cafés and art cinemas. Its narrow streets, charming squares like Place de la Contrescarpe and bohemian atmosphere attract students, artists and visitors in search of an authentic, lively Paris. It's a place where history meets modernity, where tradition meets creativity.

  2. Arenes de Lutece

    Passing by

    The Arènes de Lutèce, located in the 5ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, are an ancient relic dating back to the 1st century AD. They were a Roman amphitheater capable of seating around 15,000 spectators. Used for gladiatorial combat and other public spectacles, they are one of the few remaining reminders of ancient Lutetia, the former name of Paris. Today, it's a public park, where you can still see the arcades and the shape of the circus. It's a tranquil spot in the heart of the Latin Quarter, combining history and relaxation.

  3. Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

    Passing by

    Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic architecture, is located on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris. Built between the XIIᵉ and XIVᵉ centuries, it is famous for its immense stained glass windows, particularly the rose window, its detailed carvings and its impressive towers. The interior houses a magnificent altar, sacred relics and a monumental organ. Although partially damaged by fire in 2019, Notre-Dame remains a powerful symbol of Paris's religious and cultural history. Its majestic architecture and spiritual atmosphere make it a must-see for all visitors

  4. Basilique Du Sacre-Coeur De Montmartre

    10 min

    The Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, perched atop the Montmartre hill, is a Paris landmark, recognizable by its Romanesque-Byzantine architecture and immaculate dome. Inaugurated in 1919, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the capital from its forecourt. The interior houses one of the world's largest mosaics, depicting Christ in glory. Surrounded by the picturesque narrow streets of Montmartre, it is a place of meditation and a must-see for visitors in search of authenticity and Parisian charm.

  5. Palais Garnier

    Passing by

    The Opéra Garnier, a XIXᵉ century architectural masterpiece designed by Charles Garnier, is a symbol of Parisian pomp and elegance. Inaugurated in 1875, it captivates with its sculpture-adorned facade, majestic marble grand staircase and sumptuous auditorium, overlooked by the famous ceiling painted by Marc Chagall. A mecca for lyrical and choreographic art, it hosts prestigious opera and ballet performances. Its grandiose architecture and captivating atmosphere make it one of Paris's cultural gems.

  6. Eiffel Tower

    Passing by

    The Eiffel Tower, the emblematic symbol of Paris and France, is a 330-metre-high wrought-iron structure designed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition. Located on the Champ-de-Mars, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the capital from its three publicly accessible floors. Day or night, illuminated by thousands of lights, it embodies Parisian romanticism and elegance.

  7. Le Dome des Invalides

    Passing by

    Les Invalides, located in the 7ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, is a monumental complex housing several historic buildings, including the Hôtel des Invalides, a former hospice for wounded soldiers, and the Dôme des Invalides, where Napoleon Bonaparte is laid to rest. Built under Louis XIV, the site is now a place of remembrance, with museums dedicated to France's military history, such as the Musée de l'Armée. The Dome, with its impressive golden dome, dominates the area, symbolizing both military grandeur and the tribute paid to the soldiers who fell for France.
