What to expect

Embark on a journey through Paris's intellectual hub, the Latin Quarter, birthplace of the Sorbonne in the 13th Century. Witness the resilience of Notre Dame Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic marvel, rising from the ashes of a recent fire. Explore its sculpted facade, bell towers, and flying buttresses, hearing tales of the Hunchback and marveling at its medieval grandeur.

Meander through the enchanting flower market to Sainte Chapelle, a 13th-century gem adorned with unparalleled stained glass. Skip the queues as your guide unravels the stories behind these ancient masterpieces, allowing you to bask in the chapel's kaleidoscopic glow. Conclude your tour at the Conciergerie, once a medieval palace and later, infamous prison. Step into the cells that housed revolutionaries, including Queen Marie Antoinette's cramped confinement, echoing with the echoes of the French Revolution's tumultuous end.
