Itinerary

Musee De Cluny The building that sublimates the history of the Latin quarter, of Paris, and indeed of the entire Europe. During the visit we shall only address it from the outside, without entering the museum, as that is a separate visit.

Duration:  20 minutes

2
Sorbonne University of Sorbonne, the centre of the Latin quarter and the second oldest university in Europe.

Duration:  15 minutes

3
Pantheon The former centre of the city while it was called Lutèce and occupied by the Romans, nowadays the site is dominated by a megalomaniac building acting as a mausoleum. The visit does not include the entrance to the Pantheon as that is a separate tour in itself.
