TOUR SUMMARY

Saint-Germain as an area was favoured by literary and artistic figures like Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Simone de Beauvoir, Pablo Picasso, and Jim Morrison. It has fascinated generations of bohemians since the 1920s. This tour takes you back in time and reveals some of the places most appreciated by these artists, but also provides a contemporary perspective of this area, which is now one of the most sophisticated in Paris.

The truly refined culinary delights you’ll discover on the way will give you an insight into why we call this tour "exquisite".
