Join me for a delightful 2-hour stroll through the vibrant Latin Quarter of Paris! Picture this: you’ll have your very own personal guide to lead you through the historical and cultural wonders of this charming district, from the iconic Sorbonne to the majestic Pantheon.
The Latin Quarter got its name from a time when all university classes were taught exclusively in Latin during the Middle Ages. Our adventure kicks off at the renowned Shakespeare & Company, a literary haven cherished by literary giants like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Millen, and Joyce. As we walk through the ancient grounds of a Merovingian cemetery, we’ll uncover the fascinating tales of St. Julian the Poor and the roots of French academia.
Next, we’ll immerse ourselves in medieval Paris at the enchanting Cluny Museum before making a pit stop at the legendary Sorbonne. Following in the footsteps of the legendary filmmaker Woody Allen, we’ll revisit the enchanting locations from his movie “Midnight in Paris.” And of course, we can’t miss gazing upon the grandeur of the Pantheon and strolling through the picturesque Luxembourg Gardens that were once Maria de’ Medici’s pride and joy. To top it all off, we’ll take a moment to appreciate the historic Odeon theater.
So, lace up your walking shoes and get ready for a memorable journey through the heart of Paris with me as your friendly guide!
