Saint Germain des Pres Quarter
We start the tour in this lovingly restored church which just happens to be the city's oldest (parts date from 990AD). After a complete tour of the church itself, we will visit the neighbourhood, seeing one of the city's most charming squares & visiting a local food market.
Cour du Commerce Saint Andre
We will visit one of the city's oldest passages, where many of the early Revolutionaries lived - Danton, Marat, Robespierre. We will see the city's oldest café, now a restaurant, where Franklin & Jefferson rubbed shoulders with the French Revolutionaries as well as philosophers such as Voltaire. Napoleon reputedly left his hat when he couldn't pay his bar tab!

The weather was quite hot when we went, but it just so happened it coincided with a heatwave, so conditions weren't ideal. The chosen sites were great and the guide was very informed. We learned a lot!

Ellen, our guide, had extensive knowledge about the St. Germaine area. Her use of her iPad added extraordinary details. It was a thorough tour of the area’s historic highlights! We enthusiastically recommend Ellen as the expert guide of St. Germaine !
