About this experience
Year after year, I continue to discover unexpected stories of the city. We will take a walk through the Latin Quarter – a student mecca and the historic Saint-Germain-des-Prés district with its picturesque streets, artist workshops, and world-famous confectioneries.
Program
During the walking tour, you will learn:
- The true history of the Eiffel Tower;
- Where and why the Prime Meridian passed;
- What the SP monogram means in the Church of Saint-Sulpice;
- The traces left by Salvador Dali in the Latin Quarter;
- Where the musketeers lived;
- What the Paris Observatory hides;
- The truth about the birth of Coca-Cola and its connection to Paris;
- The amazing history of the Pantheon.
I will definitely tell you about Napoleon Bonaparte's curse; the ominous graffiti from the French Revolution era, the mysteries of Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, and more. Everyone knows about the Statue of Liberty in New York, but few know that there are five of them in Paris! Some are hidden in the most unexpected places. Intrigued already? Then let's go!
Main route points:
- Notre-Dame Cathedral
- Latin Quarter
- Pantheon
- Luxembourg Garden
- Saint Germain
