The Latin Quarter is alive with history, and its popularity is fully justified. For example, you'll walk the Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest street markets in Paris. Scholars claim Mouffetard has been a street market since the 1300s, and it remains a colorful street market to this day.

Not only will you see streets and buildings that have changed little from the Middle Ages, but this area also claims the most important Roman ruins of Paris--an arena and well-preserved baths. You will also see a remnant of the wall that King Philippe Auguste built in the 1200s to protect the city while he was away on a crusade.

The tour ends amidst an area bustling with lively restaurants of various ethnic origins, as well as reasonably priced French ones. Your host can help you select one.
