The Cicerone

Next our narrator takes us to an even smaller island where the rich and famous of Paris have their homes.

We go to the Left Bank and learn about the medieval section and its strange customs and history. 

We see the amazing and famous Saint Chapelle, built before Columbus sailed to America and still one of the outstanding buildings in Christendom.

We go to the tower called “Babbler” because of all the confessions torturers got and we see the prison that housed Marie Antoinette.

The tour ends at the Cluny Museum. There we discover the remains of the Roman baths and an Abbey that houses an outstanding museum. 

The Cicerone begins his tour at the square at the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral. He explains how Paris began and tells about her contributions to the ideas of democracy and freedom. He explains Gothic architecture and shows us what makes Notre Dame one of the most significant buildings in the world.
