About This Tour

A private tour for your group only — the real Hôtel de Cluny (a genuine medieval mansion), the historic Sorbonne, and the Fountain of Innocents. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include the Hôtel de Cluny — a genuine medieval mansion, now a museum — the historic Sorbonne university, and the Fountain of Innocents.

The Hôtel de Cluny was built in 1485 as the Paris residence of the abbots of Cluny, one of medieval France's most powerful monastic orders — and it was built directly alongside the ruins of the Thermes de Cluny, genuine 1st-to-3rd-century Gallo-Roman public baths that once covered some 6,000 square meters, among the largest in the Roman city of Lutetia. The French state acquired both the Gothic mansion and its Roman neighbor in 1842, and together they now form the Musée de Cluny — one of the only places in Paris where you can stand inside real Roman-era architecture.

The Sorbonne's own history reaches back to 1253, when Robert de Sorbon — a theologian who had risen from peasant roots in the Ardennes to become confessor to King Louis IX — founded a modest college to help poor scholars afford a theology degree. That small foundation grew into the heart of the University of Paris, and its name eventually became shorthand for the university as a whole, a genuinely different, more academic thread of medieval Paris than the city's grand cathedrals.

The tour closes at the Fontaine des Innocents, built between 1547 and 1550 by architect Pierre Lescot and sculptor Jean Goujon to mark King Henri II's ceremonial entry into Paris in 1549. It's the oldest monumental fountain still standing in the city, its Renaissance reliefs of nymphs and tritons a world apart from the Gothic and Roman stops earlier in the walk — a reminder of just how many layers of history sit within walking distance of each other here.
