The soul of Paris : Paris was created some 2000 years
ago and began at the Cité Island (Ile de la Cité). With
emphasis on the history and art of the Capital this tour includes:
a drive through the oldest part: the Marais district and its “hotels”, private town-houses of the nobility 3 or 4 centuries ago, the Latin Quarter with the Sorbonne, the Luxembourg gardens, Saint-Germain-des-Prés district with its old church and its famous cafés, a guided visit to the interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral* and a short cruise to approach and leave the Cité Island (except if the river is too high).
Before returning back to Place des Pyramides, you will admire the rigorous geometry of the Vendome Square and the surprising architecture of the “Garnier” Opera, near the department stores.
