What you see with a guide
The 3-hour tour crosses the Latin Quarter from Saint-Germain-des-Prés to the Panthéon. Some travellers find the route lingers on shops and would have liked more historical stops: if history comes first, read the description before booking. The meeting point is at Saint-Germain-des-Prés station.
The free walk, step by step
Start at the Arènes de Lutèce, a 1st-century Roman remain, then climb to the Panthéon and the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont. Then go down to Shakespeare and Company and the maze of Rue de la Huchette. Allow 3 to 4 hours with breaks. Our Latin Quarter guide details the order of the stops.
Guide or free walk?
A guide brings the anecdotes and saves you from looking for your way; the free walk costs nothing and runs at your pace. The tour is useful if you only have half a day and want explanations of the history of the Sorbonne and the medieval streets.
