Tour description

An entertaining and original tour (2 hours) through the Latin Quarter and the central districts of literary, intellectual and academic Paris. Starting with the Notre-Dame Cathedral, immortalized in the novel by Victor Hugo, we will move towards the Latin Quarter, discovering the bridges of the Symbolist poets, the small bookstores, the Saint Michel theaters, as well as the cafes and buildings to those who gave life to artists and intellectuals of all origins. In the same walk, we will enter the decadent Paris of the late nineteenth century, in the surrealism of the 1920s, in the existentialism of the postwar period, going from the academic Paris of the Middle Ages to the revolutionary Paris of the late eighteenth. A whole cultural experience, with readings and anecdotes, in a pleasant and quiet environment. Places of interest: - Notre-Dame Cathedral - Saint-Louis Island - Bouquinistes de Quai de la Tournelle - Shakespeare and Co. Bookstore - Sorbonne University - Collège de France - Panthéon - Luxembourg Gardens - Odéon Theater - Church de Saint Sulpice - Cafes "Deux Magots" and "Flore" - Bridge of the Arts - Pont-Neuf IMPORTANT: Do not go to the meeting place without having made a reservation!

El tour superó nuestras expectativas, gracias a Roberto, que nos mostró un París oculto para los turistas, el cual, a pesar de nuestras previas visitas a la ciudad, no conocíamos. El gurú te muestra rincones y calles con historia propia, que te hace vivir en primera persona gracias a su detallado conocimiento de la literatura, la filosofía y la cultura de la ciudad. Es una actividad muy recomendable.

Un tour diferente donde verás zonas menos turísticas pero que han marcado un antes y un después en la historia literaria de Paris y de parte de Europa.

Super !! Le tour littéraire proposé par Roberto est une manière originale de redécouvrir la capitale tout en travaillant son espagnol. Roberto fait l'effort de parler lentement et distinctement ce qui est un vrai plus, et m'a permis d'apprendre du vocabulaire architectural et artistique !
