A trip to Paris would not be complete without at least half a day strolling through this quarter. It’s all here: history, culture, brasseries, cafes, bakeries, even some upscale shopping. It’s eclectic in areas and unbelievably cool. This is a great area for antiquing, too. The quaint streets off the boulevard St. Germain are stock full of hidden treasures deserving of a look. There is a lot going on here and it’s fun to watch life going by.
If you can, enlist the services of a guide who will navigate you to some of the most historic spots. You may learn some fun historic facts along your stroll!

Walk to everything, far livelier than the Right Bank, but less expensive. The artistic and intellectual center of the city.

Great hotels, restaurants, cafes, shopping and vibe. Go see the big sites then return here to chill and wander.
