Is it Possible to Visit La Sorbonne?

Many tourists hoping to tour the halls of the esteemed Sorbonne University in Paris are disappointed to be turned away by guards at the doors. Entry is in principle reserved for students and faculty. But it is possible to visit the Sorbonne if you arrange for a tour ahead of time (and are able to get enough people together).

Group Visits of the Sorbonne (by Appointment)

The Sorbonne regularly organizes group visits for between 10-30 people. The guided tours last approximately 90 minutes and take place by appointment from Monday to Friday, in addition to one Saturday a month. Unfortunately, all tours of the Sorbonne are given in French-- you'll need to arrange for a French speaker to come along and translate for you if you aren't able to follow in the Gallic tongue.

Sorbonne Guided Tour Entry Fees

Guided tours of the Sorbonne are currently 9 Euros for adults and 4 Euros for students and large families.
