Itinerary
1
Musee De Cluny The medieval museum of Paris and a very interesting building. We shall provide comment on the building and how it reflects the medieval period in Paris, without visiting the museum inside, as that is an entire tour on its own.

Duration:  20 minutes

2
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris Since the cathedral suffered a fire and won't be accessible for a while, we will still provide comment on it from afar, without entering.

Duration:  20 minutes

3
La Sorbonne We shall address the importance of Sorbonne, and university as an institution, in the medieval period and Paris in particular.

Duration:  10 minutes

4
Tour Saint-Jacques A very important site for pilgrims, astrologists and alchemists of Paris. Also a pinnacle of flamboyant Gothic style. A must see.

Duration:  15 minutes

5
Fontaine des Innocents The best place to understand how the life actually was in medieval Paris - both beautiful and (incredibly) cruel.

Duration:  20 minutes

6
Centre Pompidou The contemporary building that was made to be the image of modernity but is, in fact, heavily inspired and influenced by the medieval period. Take this tour and find out how and why.

Duration:  15 minutes

Hotel de Ville The institution of the greatest importance in medieval Paris. Don't let the renaissance façade fool you - this site is 100% medieval.
