Not the touristy parts of the area. Got a real feel for what life was like there long ago and up to now, from someone local. Lots of great stories and places. Easy walking pace. Loved it!

It was an amazing experience getting the walking tour of left bank from Floraine aka “Flo”. She grew up in that neighborhood and explained in such details of the history of the Latin quarters and hidden spots. Would definitely recommend this tour
