Right Bank Landmarks: an Open Air Museum

Since middle-ages, people consider the city of Paris is comparable to a human body: the Left Bank, traditionally famous for the university and the abbeys, is the brain; the Right Bank, renown for the economy and the places of power, represents the legs, helping the city to walk and work.

The centre of the Right Bank gathers such a concentration of famous buildings an can be explored in only few hours. Each square, each monument has its story, but they also are a properly staging of different regimes.

How long is the tour?

If you need a short version (family tours or just because you prefer), 2 hours is the minimum to appreciate this visit. If you are in no hurry, a 3 hours tour is highly valued to go beyond the Louvre museum and walk to: the Halles foum, a nice covered passage, and Ste Eustache church. Maybe even more if time!
