Free Tour of the Latin Quarter of Paris

About the tour

The Latin Quarter of Paris is named after the famous Sorbonne University, it was common to hear students and teachers speak in Latin during medieval times. While we stroll around, our guide in Spanish will tell us about the student revolts of May 68 and the key role the university played during the "French May". The presence of the university boosted the cultural development of the area, with some of the best-known cinemas, theaters, bookstores and concert halls in the capital, such as the Theater of the Odéon or the cafes of Saint-Germain-des-Près, where the intellectuals of the Rive Gauche and other personalities of the 20th century met. In our Free Tour Latin Quarter of Paris we will also find churches as old as Saint-Séverin, famous for its spiky tower and medieval bells, or Saint Sulpice, the largest in Paris after Notre Dame; and other places of great historical interest, such as the Cluny Museum, the Pantheon, the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens or the controversial Saint-Michel Fountain.
