Itinerary
Musee De Cluny
The medieval museum of Paris and a very interesting building. We shall provide comment on the building and how it reflects the medieval period in Paris, without visiting the museum inside, as that is an entire tour on its own.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Since the cathedral suffered a fire and won't be accessible for a while, we will still provide comment on it from afar, without entering.
La Sorbonne
We shall address the importance of Sorbonne, and university as an institution, in the medieval period and Paris in particular.
Tour Saint-Jacques
A very important site for pilgrims, astrologists and alchemists of Paris. Also a pinnacle of flamboyant Gothic style. A must see.
Fontaine des Innocents
The best place to understand how the life actually was in medieval Paris - both beautiful and (incredibly) cruel.
Centre Pompidou
The contemporary building that was made to be the image of modernity but is, in fact, heavily inspired and influenced by the medieval period. Take this tour and find out how and why.
Hotel de Ville
The institution of the greatest importance in medieval Paris. Don't let the renaissance façade fool you - this site is 100% medieval.

Excellent tour
This was the first of three tours our family did with Boris. Boris is both an intellectual as well as a skilled narrator. He is able to weave coherent themes throughout his tours and I found each tour to be educational and thought provoking. A great experience for our family. Highly recommend!

Love history? This is the tour for you!
We loved it! She knew so much and we loved all the backstory and discussion about architecture. We also loved being able to go into Ste severine (sp?) church. The only thing that could have made it better was to have included is going in to some of the places (Museum of the Middle Ages, etc). But it was awesome. If you love history, you’ll love this tour.

Engaging and informative
Caroline was quite pleasant, engaging and informative. We learned about Medieval Paris, especially the years1100 - 1500. Caroline removed our misconceptions and clarified our understanding of Paris in this period. At the end of the tour she pointed out a lovely square at the end of the Ile de la Cite where we could have lunch and a glass of wine and even borrow pétanque balls from our waiter so we could play in the square. We enjoyed a rich 2 hours with Caroline!
Operator response

Medieval walking tour exceeded expectations!
We had the pleasure of being guided through the sites of medieval Paris with Boris. My teenage boys(15 and 18) loved it. It was actually one of our favorite things on our trip. Boris was extremely knowledgeable about everything! It was such a pleasure spending the afternoon with Boris and learning about medieval Paris. Highly recommend!

Medieval Paris Walking Tour - Oustanding
My family and I had the great fortune to have Boris take us on a private walking tour of medieval Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Boris was engaging, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and simply just fun. I give Boris highest marks. He patiently answered questions and provided a wonderful picture of what medieval Paris must have been like. We found it to be very educational (but not overly so)...my teenage boys loved it!. Highly, highly recommend.
