BBC Lonely Planet Audio Walking Tours Paris The Latin Quarter

Annotation

Negotiate your way with Christian Rodska to the intellectual heartbeat of Paris, the Latin Quarter - so called as the students and professors debated here in Latin. You've no doubt already sensed the air teeming with sophisticated thoughts; perhaps you've passed a wine bar or two - replete with lofty discussion, or smelled the musty scent emanating from the 150 bookshops couched in this region. The most famous of all is the legendary 'Shakespeare and Company' on rue de la Bucherie; an absolute must for book lovers. You can visit the Sorbonne, see ancient churches, visit the Pantheon and walk in the shadows of literary giants.
