The Latin Quarter of Paris is a place with a soul. On this two-hour free tour, you'll immerse yourself in the living history of this district that has witnessed student revolts, cultural movements, scientific breakthroughs and literary encounters.

Your guide will lead you through cobblestone streets that inspired writers like Hemingway, show you the Sorbonne, one of the oldest universities in the world, and tell you about key figures like Marie Curie. You'll also get up close to the majestic Pantheon, where the likes of Rousseau and Voltaire are laid to rest.

Along the way, you'll also visit hidden gems such as Salvador Dalí's sundial, the Roman baths of Cluny, and the legendary Shakespeare & Company bookshop. All this while you learn how this area has evolved since its origins as a Roman settlement.

The walk ends in the Plaza de la Contrescarpe, where you can continue the conversation with a drink in one of Hemingway's favourite bars. This tour is not only cultural: it is also human, fun and with a local touch that makes it unique.
