Description:

Equal parts eclectic and elegant, charming and chic, this slow stroll along Paris' Left Bank neighborhoods combines sights such as the Pantheon and Notre Dame, with samples of the country’s finest cheeses and charcuterie.

Join your guide on Sainte-Genevieve Hill. A hip hotspot among university students offering incredible views of the looming Pantheon, this meet-up point kicks off your Parisian immersion. Meander down cobbled, café-lined streets to Luxembourg Gardens, and wander through the immaculately landscaped grounds, a peaceful respite from the bustling urban scene.

Proceed to Saint-Germain, the turn-of-the-century haven that appealed to expat writers like Hemingway and Stein. Despite the neighborhood’s current upscale ambiance, it retains an artsy, bohemian undercurrent that continues to beckon locals and visitors alike.

Next, trace the medieval banks of the Seine River, and grab a seat in an artisan wine shop. Taste a tantalizing array of creamy French cheeses and fine cured meats before heading to the oldest square in Paris. Here, try your hand at a game of petanque, complimented – of course – with a glass of French wine.

In St. Michel, pop into Paris’ first English bookstore, a landmark shop whose nooks and crannies are jam-packed with contemporary and classic titles, and then wrap up your tour at the foot of the Gothic towers of the Notre Dame cathedral.
