Don't miss their interesting guided tours, in Vespa Vintage, Fiat'500 or Ape Calessino! The service is very attentive and very friendly!

The city of Rome is home to the Pieux Établissements de la France à Rome et à Lorette, an institution inherited from the pious French foundations present in the city since the Middle Ages. These establishments comprise five churches and their outbuildings: Trinité des Monts, Saint Louis des Français, Saint Nicolas des Lorrains, Saint Yves des Bretons and Saint Claude des Francs-Comtois de Bourgogne. Their mission is to maintain the religious communities that serve these churches, and to welcome French-speaking pilgrims to Rome. In addition, the Pieux Établissements organize cultural events such as colloquia and concerts, thus contributing to the influence of France in the city.
