The first 2 stops are "Les Deux Magots" and
"Café de Flore". They used to be the epicenter
for writers, intellectuals, and musicians. Jazz
thrived in this open-minded circle of people.
Further along you’ll see the former location of
Club Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Performances
were held in the cellars of the club, jazz fans
even became known as troglodytes, or cave
dwellers.

"I highly recommend this tour to
those with an interest in the history
and performance of jazz in Paris. Nic
was a friendly and knowledgeable
guide and very familiar with the busy
St Germain and Latin Quarter areas.
It was nice to stop for a drink at a
hotel where jazz musicians used to
stay. The walk was easy and the
Chez Papa jazz restaurant where we
ended up for dinner was fantastic -
first rate food, friendly staff and
excellent musicians. Jazz lovers -
don't miss this tour!"
