History
The Latin Quarter grew around medieval schools and the Sorbonne; beneath its streets lie remains of Roman Lutetia and layers of Parisian urban reforms from the Middle Ages to Haussmann’s boulevards.
Conservation
Stick to pavements and avoid trampling fragile green strips; many sites are fragile urban archaeology—observe, photograph, and leave no trace.
