Discover the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés on this walking tour through the eyes of a Parisian.
Let a true Parisian guide you through the charming neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a favorite among locals and visitors alike. I'll take you to my favorite spots, starting with the beautiful Institut de France, where we'll admire the stunning architecture overlooking the Seine. We'll then wander together through the cozy Cour du Commerce Saint-André, where cafés and little shops invite you to linger.
We'll slow down to enjoy the peaceful Jardin du Luxembourg—one of the loveliest gardens in Paris, perfect for soaking up the atmosphere. I'll share some hidden secrets at Saint Sulpice, with its fascinating stories and striking architecture, before we dive into local flavors at the bustling Marché couvert Saint-Germain.
Next, we'll explore Église Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the oldest church in Paris, filled with history and charm. I'll introduce you to the legendary cafés Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, where great writers and artists once met, and we’ll imagine life during Paris’s golden age. Finally, we'll wrap up our journey at Le Bon Marché, the city's most elegant department store, leaving you with a taste of authentic Parisian luxury.
