Eglise Saint-Etienne-du-Mont de Paris

An extraodinary church ... the only one in Paris keeping an extraordinary treasure ... two in fact !

Pantheon (Pass by)

Rising above the Latin Quarter, the Panthéon commands Paris with its majestic neoclassical dome. Its grand colonnaded façade pays tribute to centuries of French genius and national pride. Inside its vast rotunda, Foucault’s Pendulum famously demonstrated the rotation of the Earth. From the upper terraces, the city unfolds in one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Paris. A symbol of memory, science, and revolution, the Panthéon stands as a timeless guardian of French history with its foreign and French heroes.

Sorbonne (Pass by)

Right in the buzzing Latin Quarter, Sorbonne University blends 760 years of history with pure student energy. Its legendary halls have seen generations of thinkers challenge ideas and reshape the world. Today, students from everywhere come to study, debate, and dream big. Around it, cafés, bookshops, and lively streets create the perfect study‑break vibe. More than a university, the Sorbonne is a whole atmosphere — ancient, iconic, and still seriously cool.

Luxembourg Gardens

In the heart of Paris, the Jardin du Luxembourg has been a favourite hangout for over 400 years. The elegant Luxembourg Palace — home to the French Senate — gives the whole park a regal vibe. Its tree‑shaded paths, fountains, and iconic green chairs make it the perfect spot to relax or people‑watch. Look up, and you’ll spot the world’s oldest observatory still in operation watching over the gardens. Historic, peaceful, and effortlessly cool, the Luxembourg Gardens are where Paris comes to breathe.
