Saint-Germain-des-Pres is located in Paris's left bank and it is one of four quarters of the
six arrondissements. The neighborhood is famous for its restaurants, shops, and chocolatiers.
For this video, I'll simply refer to the neighborhood as Saint Germain.
My first stop was one of the oldest coffee houses in Paris, Cafe De Flore. The charming cafe is a
famous location for celebrities and it's a great spot for traditional french cuisine near the cafe
is the historic church of Saint Germain-des-Pres and where the neighborhood gets its name. The
former abbey dates back to the 6th century and is one of the oldest churches in Paris
Founded in 1761 is Ala Mere de Famille, a chocolate maker with several shops throughout
the city. I visited the shop located on Rue Bonaparte to satisfy my chocolate cravings.
A spot where you can relax and rest from sightseeing is Place Saint-Sulpice. Located
on the border of Saint Germain and the Latin Quarter neighborhood. This square dates to 1754.
And you can also visit the church of Saint-Sulpice.
When visiting this neighborhood a great spot to find some delicious macaroons
is the cafe Pierre Herme.
Debauve and Gallais is a famous chocolate maker in Paris. In 1819
the company received a royal appointment as a provider of chocolate to the French court
if you're a chocolate lover like myself this is a must-see when in Saint Germain
