Uncover the island's transformation from a Roman settlement to the medieval capital, and hear the inspiring story of Sainte Geneviève, who, according to legend, saved Paris from the Huns in the 5th century through her unwavering faith and leadership. Explore the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral, a symbol of resilience and architectural grandeur, and wander through the charming streets where history unfolds at every turn. This is where Paris began.
Curie Institute
Visit the Curie Institute, founded by the pioneering scientist Marie Curie in 1920, a testament to her extraordinary contributions to physics and chemistry. Still a leading research center, it also houses a museum dedicated to Curie's life and groundbreaking discoveries, including her Nobel Prize-winning work on radioactivity. Explore the exhibits showcasing her scientific journey, personal artifacts, and the enduring legacy of her relentless pursuit of knowledge. Discover the inspiring story of a woman who defied societal norms and transformed the world of science.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Latin Quarter, renowned for its student life, historic universities (like the Sorbonne), and lively cafes. Experience the intellectual and cultural heart of Paris while enjoying unparalleled vistas of the city's most famous sites.
Panthéon
Stand in awe before the Panthéon, an imposing neoclassical monument originally built as a church but now a secular mausoleum honoring distinguished French citizens. Discover the story of Sophie Germain, a self-taught mathematician and physicist, who overcame immense societal barriers to make significant contributions to number theory and elasticity. She was the first woman, after her death, to be buried inside the Panthéon for her own merit. This impressive building represents France's deep appreciation for the arts and sciences and immortalizes exceptional figures that have shaped the nation's identity.
