Easy to get around, the city has a user-friendly public transport infrastructure covering the whole of the capital, with an underground and bus network in constant development. A more unusual way to discover the city in style is to hire a chauffeured limousine or to have a very French tour of Paris in a 2CV, the famous Citroën convertible … Mixing transport with culture, many companies provide regular tours in Paris and in the Paris region. The River Seine constitutes an original route through Paris … and is certainly an excellent way to enjoy delightful views of the very heart of the city. Finally, incoming agencies are also an invaluable aid in helping to organize bespoke tours. They have specialist knowledge of the Paris destination and the specific characteristics of the nationalities visiting the French capital.

  • WALK 2 | Jardin Du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-Des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 Km
    WALK 2 | Jardin du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 km 7 8 10 9 N U = Underground Metro Station = Optional route Emerging from the Metro station, you will be on Boulevard Saint Germain. Go to Place Saint Germain des Prés. Pass by the café Les Deux Magots, and in the middle of the plaza across from the church, you will find a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 7 Place St. Germain des Prés, 6th Arr. This fountain is near the entrance to the old abbey church, Saint Germain des Prés. In warm months, the fountain is surrounded by outdoor seating for nearby cafes and restaurants. One 7 cafe is Les Deux Magots, made famous by its former clientele - lost generation writers, surrealist artists, and existentialist philosophers. Today, the cafe attracts tourists and those who want to feel they rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of long dead French intellectuals. Perhaps Hemingway or Sartre drank from this Wallace Fountain after they had too much to drink at Les Deux Magots. Saint Germain des Prés is the oldest church in Paris with parts dating back to the sixth century. If you have time, look inside. Undergoing renovation, it is slowly being restored to its original glory. Cross Boulevard St-Germain and walk south on Rue Bonaparte until you arrive at Place Saint-Sulpice. In the square and across the street from the town hall of the 6th arrondissement is a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 8 Place Saint-Sulpice, 6th Arr. At the southwest corner of the square stands the fountain.
