Did you know that behind the names “Méridien de Paris” and “Axe du Monde” lies Paris’s largest “monument” (17 km long!), almost invisible to the “uninitiated”?
From Port-Royal to the Observatoire, built according to absolutely rigorous scientific and symbolic principles, via the jardins du Luxembourg (“château de la Lumière”), this tour takes you deep into the heart of symbolism. Of course, we will stop by the église Saint-Sulpice to untangle its true and false secrets, along with many other curiosities. Will you be able to spot the médaillons d’Arago along the way, the small plaques embedded in the stone that trace this famous North/South meridian? An unusual tour where art, history, esotericism and … humor will all be part of the experience.
Price: €18/person
