The Latin Quarter, on the Left Bank of the Seine River, contains more history and beautiful monuments in one place than any other district of Paris. Take this two-hour guided walking tour and you'll discover the Latin Quarter's hidden secrets in an afternoon. Led by your local guide, the walking tour makes its way from the Pantheon, the final resting place of France's most famous citizens, to the perfectly manicured Luxembourg Gardens.
Paris' history began on the Left Bank, and on this relaxing guided walk you'll gain valuable insights into Paris, its people, art and spirit. You'll walk along the Latin Quarter's ancient streets and see Paris' three most beautiful churches: Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Chapelle and St. Etienne du Mont. You'll pass famous institutes and universities, exquisite fountains and statues, art treasures from the Middle Ages, student haunts and the Left Bank abodes of Sigmund Freud, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, the beat poets and Jim Morrison.
