Historic Paris: Left Bank to the Louvre
Paris, France
ArchitectureRenaissance
This route traces Paris’s layered history from the Latin Quarter, the city’s medieval center of scholars and churches, to the Île de la Cité, where royal power, justice, and Notre-Dame stood side by side. It ends at the Louvre, which began as a medieval fortress, became a royal palace, and opened as a museum in 1793. The journey follows Paris as it changes from Roman town to university quarter to sacred monarchy and finally to museum city.
