Activity itinerary

Eglise Saint Julien Le Pauvre (Pass by)
Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre is one of the oldest churches in Paris, located in the Latin Quarter near the Seine. Originally built in the 12th century, it features a mix of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Today, it serves as a Melkite Greek Catholic church, offering a unique blend of Eastern and Western Christian traditions. Surrounded by the charming Square René Viviani, it provides a peaceful retreat with views of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Sorbonne (Pass by)
The Sorbonne, founded in 1257 in Paris, is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Located in the Latin Quarter, it became a center of intellectual life in Europe, nurturing figures like Marie Curie and Jean-Paul Sartre. Known for its beautiful historic campus and academic excellence, the Sorbonne remains a symbol of French scholarship and continues to be a leading institution in humanities, sciences, and the arts.
Hotel-Dieu de Cluny (Pass by)
The Hôtel de Cluny, located in Paris's Latin Quarter, is a stunning Gothic mansion dating back to the late 15th century. Originally built as the residence for the abbots of Cluny, it now houses the Musée de Cluny, the National Museum of the Middle Ages. Known for its architectural beauty and impressive collection of medieval artifacts—including the famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries—the museum offers visitors a unique glimpse into medieval art, history, and daily life. The Hôtel de Cluny is also partially built over ancient Roman baths, adding another layer to its historical allure.
Les Thermes de Lutece (Pass by)
Les Thermes de Lutèce are the remains of ancient Roman baths located in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter. Built in the 1st to 3rd centuries AD when Paris was known as Lutetia, these baths once served as a communal space for relaxation, socializing, and bathing. The complex featured a frigidarium (cold room), caldarium (hot room), and tepidarium (warm room), showcasing impressive Roman engineering and architecture. Today, parts of the baths, including the large vaulted frigidarium, are preserved within the Musée de Cluny, allowing visitors to explore one of the few remnants of Roman Paris. Les Thermes de Lutèce offer a fascinating glimpse into the city's ancient history and the daily lives of its Roman inhabitants.
Narrowest street in Paris (Pass by)
The narrowest street in Paris is Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche, located in the Latin Quarter near the Seine River. Measuring only about 1.8 meters (6 feet) wide, this tiny alleyway was created in 1540 and its name translates to "Street of the Fishing Cat." Known for its quaint, almost hidden appearance, Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche has become a quirky Parisian landmark. Though it's a short, unassuming passage, it adds to the charm of the area and is a popular stop for those exploring the historical, winding streets of Paris.
Notre-Dame (Pass by)
Notre-Dame de Paris, a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris. Completed in the 14th century, this cathedral is celebrated for its intricate stone carvings, towering spires, and impressive stained glass windows, particularly the famed Rose Window. Notre-Dame’s twin towers and gargoyle-adorned facade make it instantly recognizable, while its interior features majestic vaults and religious artwork. Located on Île de la Cité in the Seine River, Notre-Dame has witnessed centuries of Parisian history. Though partially damaged by a fire in 2019, it remains a symbol of resilience, and restoration efforts are underway to restore its former glory.
Sainte-Chapelle (Pass by)
Sainte-Chapelle, located on Île de la Cité in Paris, is a stunning Gothic chapel built in the 13th century by King Louis IX to house his collection of holy relics. Known for its breathtaking stained glass windows, which cover over 600 square meters, the chapel bathes visitors in a kaleidoscope of colors, illustrating over 1,100 scenes from the Bible. Often considered one of the finest achievements of Rayonnant Gothic architecture, Sainte-Chapelle is celebrated for its slender stonework and sense of ethereal lightness. This architectural gem offers a truly mesmerizing experience and a unique glimpse into medieval artistry.
