What To Expect

Chapelle de la Sorbonne

Begin your journey in the heart of Paris’s intellectual quarter at the historic Sorbonne. Founded in the 13th century, the Sorbonne became a symbol of medieval scholarship and theological debate, giving the Latin Quarter its name. Admire the Baroque façade of the chapel from the outside, designed under Cardinal Richelieu, and learn about the university’s enduring influence on Parisian life and culture. This iconic landmark sets the stage for a walk through centuries of history.

10 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Step briefly into the peaceful courtyard of the Collège de France, established in 1530 by King Francis I. Created to teach revolutionary subjects like Hebrew, astronomy, and anatomy—often forbidden at the Sorbonne—it became a hub for free thinkers and intellectual progress. Your guide will share how this Renaissance institution shaped Paris’s reputation as a city of ideas.

We have visited Paris many times but this was the first time we visited the Latin Quarter for more than a drive through or a dinner at a restaurant just across the Seine. We were glad to find a guided tour. The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Anjali was very welcoming and full of information. We learned so much about the area and the Sorbonne and the history of it all and visited some “hidden treasures” along with the Pantheon. We would highly recommend this tour option.

This Latin Quarter tour was hands-down the best experience we had in Paris! From start to finish, everything was flawless. Our guide was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable – they brought centuries of Parisian history to life as we wandered through charming cobblestone streets, past stunning churches, saw the shrine of Sainte Genevieve, hidden courtyards, and vibrant little squares we would have never discovered on our own. The skip-the-line tickets to the Panthéon were a game-changer, we bypassed the long queues and went straight inside to marvel at the breathtaking dome, Foucault’s Pendulum, and the resting place of France’s greatest figures like Voltaire and Marie Curie. Our guide’s stories made it all so much more meaningful. This wasn’t just a tour; it felt like stepping into the soul of Paris. The pace was perfect, and we even had time to stop at picturesque spots for photos and soak up the atmosphere. Highly recommend !
Beautiful hidden gem!
