I'm in one of Paris's most famous neighborhoods a neighborhood where
you're going to find several booksellers amazing cafes some historical locations
and a beautiful park join me as I explore Paris's Latin Quarter.
The Latin Quarter is also known as the fifth arrondissements. It is located on the left bank
of the River Seine and it is a famous neighborhood that is filled with cafes and bookshops.
When visiting this area I recommend you start your day at Shakespeare and Company.
Here you can browse in their bookstore or order a coffee to start your day.
After having a coffee at Shakespeare Company stop by the Cluny Museum.
The Cluny Museum's theme covers the middle ages in Paris.
The museum is built over the remnants of a 3rd-century gala roman baths.
A monumental structure in Paris is the pantheon which was ordered to be built by King Louis xv
of France in 1758 in honor of saint Genevieve who is Paris's patron saint.
Near the Pantheon is Saint-Etienne-du-Mont Church. The church dates back to the year 1222
and is worth a visit.
Another famous spot to visit is the Luxembourg Gardens. Although the gardens are not in the
Latin Quarter they are very close to the Pantheon so I suggest you add this area to your itinerary.
The gardens were created in 1612 by queen Marie de Medici. She also added the Luxembourg Palace.
Today the gardens are owned by the French Senate and they still meet in the palace.
After hours of sightseeing, I recommend having lunch or a drink at La Closerie De Lila.
The fountain of Saint Michael is a famous spot in the city located between the boulevard of Saint
Michael and Place Saint-Andre-de-Arts. There are several shops and places to eat near the fountain
Rue Saint-Andre-de-Artes is a must-see when in this area.
This street is famous for its booksellers and there are also plenty of pubs and restaurants
Just off this main street is Cour du Commerce. This passage takes you back a few centuries
so you can experience how Paris looked before Emperor Napoleon III modernized the city in 1852.
