Latin Quarter & Left Bank Tour: Free Tour
FREETOUR.com says
Our Secret Traveller calls this free tour "the fundamental Left Bank experience...which examines both old and modern-day Paris". "joining my local guide for a tour of the most artistic neighbourhood in Paris, we explored from Sorbonne University all the way to the Luxembourg Gardens, learning about the student traditions and rites of passage, bohemian cafes, secretive alleys, casual Parisian fashion and got intriguing insight to local culture and history, as well as excellent local tips and hints for how to do Paris like a local. Highly enjoyable and worthwhile!"
Overview
We give you the tourist must-sees and also the Paris of the Parisians.
This Latin Quarter tour is an exploration of both old Paris and young Parisians - medieval streets and student life. Discover what inspired Picasso, Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, and Cyrano de Bergerac. Explore Sorbonne, Pantheon, the Luxembourg Garden and their surroundings.
Discover the winding streets, the art cinémas, the parks, and the smoke-filled cafés (yes, students often do smoke!) where Parisians come of age.
The tour ends near the Pantheon - and near "Emily in Paris" too. To see more on this free tour, we do not spend time going inside each building.
