End at Pont Neuf with Louvre views—a compact intro to the city's cradle.
- Montmartre: Ascend this bohemian hill from Abbesses Metro, passing artists' haunts like Bateau-Lavoir (Picasso's studio) and Place du Tertre. Visit Sacré-Cœur for panoramic views, windmills, and vineyards, delving into 19th-century creative rebellion. Ideal for artistic vibes and photo opportunities.
- Latin Quarter & Saint Germain: Venture into the intellectual Latin Quarter with its ancient Roman roots, including the gladiator arena (Arènes de Lutèce). Cross into elegant Saint Germain for spots like the Pantheon (18th-century mausoleum), Luxembourg Gardens' peaceful lawns, Emily in Paris Square (Place de l'Estrapade), and La Palette café, where famous artists once gathered.
