Paris, France

Day 3 - Set out with your French guide for an orientation of the city Ernest Hemingway called “a moveable feast,” because “wherever you go for the rest of your life, Paris stays with you”. Get to know the famous Latin Quarter, so called because before the Revolution, students and professors in this area only spoke Latin. Notre Dame Cathedral took two centuries to complete. Point Zéro, the spot from which all road distances are measured in France, is found in the courtyard in front of Notre Dame. In the afternoon, visit the historic Montmartre area, a haven for artists and writers before WWI. Marvel at the white Basilique du Sacré Coeur. Did you know that the dome is the second highest point in Paris? Take some time to discover this area’s hidden treasures in small groups.
