What To Expect

Quartier Latin

The Latin Quarter, on the left bank of the Seine, is one of the oldest and liveliest in Paris. Renowned for its academic and intellectual atmosphere, it is home to the Sorbonne, one of the world's most prestigious universities, as well as numerous bookshops, literary cafés and art cinemas. Its narrow streets, charming squares like Place de la Contrescarpe and bohemian atmosphere attract students, artists and visitors in search of an authentic, lively Paris. It's a place where history meets modernity, where tradition meets creativity.

Admission Not Applicable

Arenes de Lutece

The Arènes de Lutèce, located in the 5ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, are an ancient relic dating back to the 1st century AD. They were a Roman amphitheater capable of seating around 15,000 spectators. Used for gladiatorial combat and other public spectacles, they are one of the few remaining reminders of ancient Lutetia, the former name of Paris. Today, it's a public park, where you can still see the arcades and the shape of the circus. It's a tranquil spot in the heart of the Latin Quarter, combining history and relaxation.

What an incredible experience!!! So much fun to see Paris via a side car! He stopped and took our picture in front to the Eiffel Tower! He was even kind enough to recommend local spots for us to try afterwards.

Visiting Paris? Spend a day our two in laid-back Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Versaille, and don't miss this tour. While my husband and I have been to both places, we craved a local's perspective and tips. Retro Tours was was a very cool way to see the cities. We went to the palace stables, by a beautiful lake, a real French market, antique shops, and more. At my request, we even stopped for a drink at a cafe. Julien was a fantastic tour guide and adjusted our tour to work around the Olympic flame, which was in both cities around the time of our tour. Say yes to this tour and you're guaranteed good vibes. I recommend touring when you first arrive to get the lay of the land. Then, you can go back and explore the places that interest you the most.
Best Way to see it all!

Don’t miss this wonderful experience . My husband and I booked two cycles so we could each be in a sidecar! We were the envy of all we passed on the streets. We chose to tour through the Montmartre streets around the arc de Triumph twice!!! Getting picked up at our hotel was so easy. Guides Martine and Ari were the absolute best. Besides being knowledgeable and interesting, they were charming ambassadors for Paris.
So much fun !!

Best experience ever! We only had a day in Paris and we fell in love with both the retro motorbike AND Paris! Roman was an amazing driver and guide, keeping us entertained with interesting facts and some sneaky snacks! Got to see all the significant sites we wanted to.
