🕚 On a typical hour-long private tour

Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up at the beautiful church of Saint-Sulpice. You’ll pass by the imposing Four Compass Point Fountain, before free-wheeling along the famous street of Boulevard Saint-Germain des Près, with its elegant bistros, jazz cafés and pastry shops.

We might visit the romantic little square of Rue de Furstemberg, at the north-western edge of the quarter, then pass by the neoclassical facade of the Odéon Théatre de l’Europe, and the palatial French Senate. As we take a leisurely drive around the perimeter of the Luxembourg Gardens, you’ll see luscious glimpses of the oasis within.

Heading up the street of Rue Soufflot, the great portico of the eighteenth-century Panthéon – a temple to the gods of French intellectualism – will rise up to meet you. Our English-speaking guide will give you an overview of this final united resting place of many of France’s most distinguished and free-thinking figures, informing you on the Panthéon’s fascinating history and architectural and cultural significance.

Following on from the stunning seventeenth-century church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, the resting place of St. Geneviève, we might visit the food markets and shops of Rue Mouffetard, among the oldest and most intriguing streets of Paris.

We’ll cruise along the Rue des Écoles and through the elegant streets surrounding the Sorbonne. The Latin Quarter based Sorbonne University is in fact one of the most venerable and prestigious universities in the world. As we near the River Seine, near to the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame Metro stop, another highlight is the lively Place Saint-Michel, with its iconic fountain, a classic meeting point for the Sorbonne’s students, street artists, couples and tourists. Behind Place Saint-Michel is a maze of narrow streets, including Rue de la Huchette and Rue Saint-Séverin, with a great variety of food and drink hotspots, street food places, independent boutiques, little theatres, art cinemas and quaint book stores.

🌿 Beyond the well-known sites

Our mini electric vehicle allows us to venture into quieter, more authentic streets, to discover hidden gardens, courtyards, historic churches, Roman ruins, and charming places often missed by traditional tours, such as the Cluny National Museum of the Middle Ages, the Marie Curie Museum, and the first-century-built Roman amphitheatre Arènes de Lutèce.

As we travel along the banks of the River Seine, on one side, we’ll see the Shakespeare and Company international book store, a legendary haven for writers and literary enthusiasts for over a century. Over on the other side, beyond the bankside gardens and on the city island, you’ll finally see the iconic sight of the world-famous gothic church of Notre Dame de Paris.
