From there, accompanied by a professional guide, you will begin a journey through centuries of history and culture.
During the tour, you will discover landmarks such as the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral (exterior view), the symbol of Paris and the starting point to cross to the left bank of the Seine. Once in the Latin Quarter, you'll walk through cobblestone streets steeped in the legacy of illustrious figures such as Hemingway, Dali and Fitzgerald, who contributed to the worldwide fame of this historic neighbourhood.
