On the path of a Lost River.
Welcome to Paris! I will be more than happy to show you around this amazing city.Following a natural waterway in the heart of Paris, La Bièvre, a river (not the Seine) who existed until the beginning of the 20th century, flowed in the Seine, and which was later transformed into a colourful market street boarded by restaurants, bars and shops with French cheese speciality, you will also discover other treasures of the city. The American author Ernest Hemmingway, lived in the area, just steps from Place Contrescarpe, the market street and the Square S. Médard.
I will show you Gothic & Romanesque churches, secret streets, places connected with Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and "Priory of Sion", Roman roads and Roman ruins, Merovingian sarcophagi and a torture chamber, right downtown!
