Latin Quarter

2hrs 1-20 visitors 240-420€

Home to the Paris university since the Middle Ages, the Latin Quarter is the neighborhood of students and professors first and foremost. It is a neighborhood where teaching imprints its own rythm to urban life, making it an intellectual's haven. Academic life from the Middle Ages to the present day informs the life of the Latin Quarter in a crucial way. 

The medieval buildings also cohabitate with more modern institutions for learning, and with Roman vestiges as Saint Geneviève hill is also the oldest neighborhood of Paris.
