Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:
Kick off your Paris walking tour in front of the Pantheon – the perfect spot to begin your bohemian exploration of The City of Lights. As the city lights up under the cover of darkness, you'll wander through some locations featured in the popular TV show Emily in Paris, like the square and boulangerie.
Next, wander over to the Luxembourg Gardens and soak up the romanticism of this quiet haven away from the busy streets. Continue to the vibrant Saint-Germain area – a hotspot for writers, intellectuals, musicians, and artists of past and present, including Ernest Hemingway and Jim Morrison. Some episodes of Gossip Girl were also filmed here, in the Café Les Deux Magots and the Café de Flore. Despite rising prices and the gentrification of the area, Saint-Germain has retained its unique artistic charm and is the perfect example of bohemian Paris. See the Church of Saint Sulpice from the outside – not only an architectural jewel of the area but also an inspiration for the book and film The Da Vinci Code – and pass by the church and square of Saint Germain des Pres. Head into the medieval heart of Paris in the Latin Quarter, home to winding cobblestone streets, historic landmarks, and food markets.
Then, it's off to the energetic Saint-Michel to take a peek into the Shakespeare and Company Bookshop – Paris’ first English bookshop, famously packed to the brim with novels old and new, from the classics to every modern masterpiece you could hope to find. This place is like Mecca for bookworms and definitely not to be missed if you're the kind of person who always has their nose in a good read! See the Notre Dame Cathedral and stop for photos – this is the spot where many make a wish to return to Paris. Wander along the serene embankments of the River Seine and the surrounding square, which is the oldest in Paris, and take a moment to look out onto the glittering lights reflected on the water. End your walking tour here and reminisce about all the gorgeous spots you'll return to as you fall deeper in love with Paris.
