Paris was created some 2000 years ago and began at the Cité
Island (Ile de la Cité).
With emphasis on the history and art of the Capital this tour
includes: a drive through the oldest part: the Marais
District and its "hotels", private town-houses
of the nobility 3 or 4 centuries ago, the Latin Quarter
with the Sorbonne, the Luxembourg Gardens, Saint-Germain-des-Prés,
district with its old church and its famous cafés, a guided
visit to the interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral
and a short cruise to approach and leave the
Cité Island (except if the river is too high).
Before returning to Place des Pyramides, you will admire the
rigourous geometry of Vendome Square and the surprising architecture
of the "Garnier" Opera, near the department stores.
