Highlights
  • Latin Quarter - Nestled on the left bank of the Seine River, near the Sorbonne, the Latin Quarter stands as one of Paris’ most eclectic and captivating districts. It presents a charming contrast of ancient alleyways, ecclesiastical structures, and the expansive avenues in the Haussmannian style, which emerged during the city’s 19th-century transformation. The district’s moniker harks back to the Middle Ages when Latin was predominantly spoken by the area’s scholarly and clerical inhabitants.

Great for all ages! - Our family, made up of parents, a college philosophy major, and 2 children (age 11 and 12), all thoroughly enjoyed Pierre Eve's thoughtful insight on one of the most interesting parts of Paris! We saw beautiful ancient cathedrals and a Roman arena as well as numerous sites where famous artists and authors lived and spent time in Paris in the 1920's. Pierre Eve also introduced us to the best cup of coffee any of us had ever had. We went back to our apartment and watched Midnight in Paris together and relived it all. Highly recommend!
