(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Montmartre
Every year many visitors flock to Montmartre, but most miss out on the authentic hidden side of this special place. Away from the crowds, you can still find the Montmartre of Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh, where artists lived, drank and painted, exchanging their paintings for food and art supplies. Hear their fascinating stories and those of the raucous cabarets and music halls where the French Cancan was invented. Today Montmartre remains a delightful and typical quarter of Paris, proud of its history and inhabited by Monmartrois who remain passionate about their unique neighborhood. Explore tiny alleyways, evocative cobbled streets and quiet squares, discover a beautiful working vineyard and lively café terraces. See the artist's square, where modern day artists still gather each day to paint and sell their works, and admire the spectacular views over the city from the foot of the Sacré Coeur. Discover the real Montmartre, one of the best-kept secrets in the city.
Le Marais
Not only do the Parisians adore the Marais, most visitors also fall in love with this very special part of the city. Combining centuries of history, splendid architecture, high fashion, world-class museums and art galleries, and an amazing restaurant scene, the Marais is not to be missed! Spared the massive renovations of 19th century Paris, the Marais retains the old-world charm of narrow streets, quiet courtyards and splendid medieval and Renaissance mansions. Discover cutting edge boutiques and hip cafés. Visit the traditional Jewish quarter, where you can taste the best falafel in the city, and don’t forget to check out some of the newest and best pastry shops in the city! Hear stories of jousts, love affairs, treason and revolution, as you stroll through some of the most delightful streets in the city. Dynamic and modern, yet steeped in history and overflowing with charm, the Marais is the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere of contemporary and historical Paris.
Quartier Latin
Traditional haunt of writers and scholars, the vibrant and eclectic Latin Quarter is bohemian Paris at its best. Walk in the footsteps of the iconic writers and poets of the Lost Generation writers who lived and wrote in Paris, immortalizing their lives here in print. Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein found their inspiration here, making Paris of the 1920’s the artistic center of the world. Today you’ll discover cobbled streets, quirky bookshops and lively cafés. We’ll take you to the very heart of this delightful neighborhood, past glorious outdoor food markets, tree-lined streets and pretty squares roamed by cats and stylish students. See the Sorbonne University, founded in 1237, and the mighty Pantheon, guarding the remains of France’s most venerable men and women. Witness the ongoing restoration of the iconic Cathedral of Notre Dame as she turns the next page of her long history. The authentic Latin Quarter is packed with history and full of surprises.
