Paris Historic Heart Free Walking Tour
Notre-Dame, the Latin Quarter and the islands where Paris began
Paris began on an island, and this tour starts there too: Notre-Dame’s ongoing rebirth, the Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette awaited the guillotine, and the Latin Quarter’s medieval lanes where students have argued philosophy for 800 years. The essential first walk in Paris.
The walk starts at Place Saint-Michel (Place Saint-Michel, 75005 Paris) and runs daily at 10:00 and daily at 15:00. It lasts around 2.5 hours, is offered in English, French, Spanish, and the group is capped at 25 people so the experience stays personal. Look for the guide with the green FreeTour sign.
