Overview
did you know that it is the oldest neighborhood in the city? Its name, "Latin," has a historical reason.
It was here that the first seat of the prestigious Sorbonne University was established, where the language was Latin, creating since the Middle Ages a vibrant neighborhood, full of life, students and an atmosphere that endures to this day.
On this guided tour, you will explore the fascinating history of this part of Paris.
In addition, we will discover alleys and places that are not easy to find on your own. We will not forget to visit other outstanding monuments, such as the ancient Roman baths, the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore, the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens and the monumental Pantheon building.
