5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour through the Latin Quarter with our tour guide Clara! It was a wonderful surprise to discover the important Roman arena tucked away in a lovely square. We got to know the different areas/schools of the Sorbonne, the interesting Rue Mouffetard, and Clara was nice enough to show us some spots where Midnight in Paris and Emily in Paris were filmed. Ending the tour in the Jardin du Luxembourg was a special treat! The tour lasted just the right amount of time, not too short and not too long. Highly recommend.
