Explore the Latin Quarter of Paris
Overview
At the heart of the Latin Quarter stands the Panthéon, resting place of France’s great minds, while just nearby is the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the city’s most beautiful gardens. The neighborhood is also home to the Cluny Museum of the Middle Ages, the Shakespeare and Company bookstore, and countless cafés where writers like Hemingway and Sartre once sat.
Today, the Latin Quarter blends history with vibrancy: students fill its lecture halls, tourists explore its monuments, and Parisians enjoy its timeless charm. It remains a crossroads of ideas, culture, and everyday Parisian life.
This activity includes:
- Shakespeare and Company
- Saint Michel - Notre Dame - Belvilla by Oyo
- Cluny Museum - National Museum of the Middle Ages
