About
This famous Left Bank neighborhood, so named because the numerous university students in the area spoke only Latin to their professors until the French Revolution, preserves an authentic Parisian atmosphere of old.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Surmounted by the Pantheon, the streets that climb up and then descend onto the "mountain" of Santa Genoveffa are home to a very rich student population, a series of places to eat at fairly reasonable prices and charm to spare. In the shadow of even important sites (the interiors of St Etienne are beautiful, and a stop at the Cluny Museum is obvious nearby), the streets have a very particular atmosphere, enlivened by the inevitable tree-lined squares. Rue Mouffetard deserves its fame, but the advice is obviously to wander far and wide to discover views (in this neighbourhood, often very "alternative").

To eat in Paris at the right price you have to go to this area..... obviously don't be enchanted by the first restaurateur who invites you to enter his restaurant, choose the one you like best and above all don't eat Italian, the disappointment could be high!! !
I ate the fondue: an excellent fondue and then some excellent meat!!!!
P.S: if you don't want to get fleeced on the water, choose the one in a jug!!!

Stayed with friends in a facility in the Latin Quarter. Very "lively" neighborhood, especially in the evening, with several clubs (especially in Place de la Contrescarpe) open until late in the evening. Live music is also often made in the same square. The area is well served by public transport and, in a short time (even on foot), you can reach both the Ile de la Cité and the Eiffel Tower. Super recommended as a neighborhood to stay during a Parisian vacation.

If there is a place in Paris I really appreciate it isn't Champs-Elysee or Tour-de-Eiffel, it's the Latin quarters. They have a charm and rusticity that many other areas lack. Just going through the romantic streets looking at chocolate in store windows or grabbing a beer/wine at one of the local restaurants or bars is a well deserved break from the otherwise so stressful city.

This tour with Georgia was absolutely marvellous. She made the Latin Quarter come alive for us, leading through the architecture of the various centuries and the stories the the buildings told. We cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone that wants to know the story of Paris.

Paris was fabulous! We stayed in the Latin Quarter and loved the neighborhood feel as well as the location to get to so many of the sights easily. The Cafe’s and bakeries were fun to pop into and very plentiful. The restaurants all served amazing foods!

We walked this neighborhood, like many others, in the rain. We loved Paris, which we got to know better by walking. Also for me there is nothing better than walking around the city in the rain and seeing these buildings, streets and monuments. March is an excellent time without many people and queues

The heart of this neighborhood was the place of the most important university in Europe during the Middle Ages. The university presence continues into modern times, so it is crowded, full of schools and book stores. Lots of inexpensive places to eat fast food.

We were going to sing in the Notre Dam this June. Since this will not be taking place we are looking at an alternative plan.
A friend suggested that there are spontaneous musical presentations performed in the streets of the Latin Quarter on Sundays before 11 AM.
Has anyone heard of this and have you got any insight to how we can set this up?

A lot of the churches and chapels hold private concerts. You can contact any of them and offer your services. They charge a small fee or it’s free tithe public and they promote the event. I attended at least four of these type events from December through March while I was visiting.

My daughter and I will be arriving in Paris soon. We will be staying in St. Germain de Pres but would like to spend one evening in The Latin Quarter. Can anyone recommend a restaurant for dinner - preferably with outside dining? Also, what would be the best evening activities for a mother & 20 yo daughter?
Written 6 June 2017
Walk down Rue de Buci and look at all places and maybe have a drink, but don't eat. .Rue Le Gregorie is a 1 or two minute walk from the action on Buci, Eat at Citroulle or Breizh on Rue Gregoire.
We spent 12 days in in Paris and by far the best two places we tried. And we know good food...not snails or frogs legs. Inside but look at the menus and in the windows. Just east of Blvd Saint Gemain 1 block.

Latin Quarter is a busy, bustling section of Paris, the area around Sorbonne Uni. There are many hotels here. Typically, room sizes are smaller than in the US or the Middle East, but the rooms are charming. Best of all is the location: minutes away from the Notre Dame with a million things to do and see.

Tempo indicativo di percorrenza? E c è qualcosa di particolare da non perdere?
L ho inserito nelle cose da vedere giusto per fare una passeggiata e un veloce spuntino dopo aver visto Notre Dame ma non vorrei soffermarmi troppo perché il tempo è poco e dobbiamo raggiungere altri posti!

Beh considera che è uno dei quartieri chiave di Parigi da turista... come diceva l'altra utente, ci sono pantheon, Sorbona, teatro, il parco meraviglioso dei giardini luxembourg e poi da lì a piedi sul lungo Senna ti guardi le bancarelle dei libri e arrivi fino al Musee d'Orsay... quindi in un giorno camminando abbastanza e facendo un picnic al luxembourg vedi metà della Parigi... da vedere 😊
