Starting at the Pantheon, the resting place of the “Great Men of France”, we will stop at the church St Etienne du Mont (Tomb of St Genevieve, Patron Saint of Paris) before walking to the Luxembourg Gardens to discover the majestic Luxembourg Palace and stop at the Statue of Liberty (the first statue created by Bartoldi). We will continue along the St Sulpice church (with inside visit) and to Saint Germain where we will stop for a coffee at the café des 2 Magots (where Hemingway wrote his “Farewell to arms”). Then we'll have a look the church St Germain des Prés before finishing our walk at the oldest café in Paris: café Procope whose “customers” were named Voltaire, Bonaparte,Danton, Benjamin Franklin or Oscar Wilde!
