A part of the prestigious Paris- Sorbonne University, the Sorbonne is the central campus located in the bustling Latin Quarter of Paris. Boasting of marvellous architecture, only undergraduate and graduate students are allowed entry on the premises. Outsiders can either have a look from the outside and click photographs of the beautiful university building or they can opt for a guided tour from a local tour operator and explore the magnificent campus. According to history, a group of students wanted to study theology and made a request of the same to Louis IX. Hence, on his order an institute was formed named as Robert de Sorbon which later turned into the University of Paris.This university turned out to be one of the first universities in the world. Today, this institute offers study courses on subjects like Arts, Humanities, Social Science, Civilizations and Literature.
