Private Morning Walking Tour of Notre Dame and Left Bank Landmarks
Guests spend an exciting morning discovering Paris’ Left Bank area, with visits to iconic neighborhoods and landmarks. The famous Latin Quarter is one of the highlights of this tour, having earned its name from teachers and students who spoke Latin until the French Revolution. The academic and artistic heart of Paris, this neighborhood houses the medieval university area and various historic monuments. It was home to creative geniuses like Delacroix, Picasso, and Hemingway. This is also where figures like Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Émile Zola lie buried. This fully customizable tour can be tailored to the specific interests of guests. In the morning, they meet their guide at the Odette pastry shop and start their walk to the famous Parisian landmarks of Notre Dame and the Sorbonne. For centuries, the latter served as the seat of the University of Paris, marking the city’s intellectual center. Guests continue their informative guided walk through the cobblestoned streets – discovering more of the Left Bank – until the tour ends at a central location.
