The Latin Quarter is a must-see place in the capital! It is located in the 5th arrondissement, on the Left Bank of the capital. Parisians, students and tourists meet there all year round in the many cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There are dozens of tourist sites: Pantheon, Cluny museum, Luxembourg garden and museum, Arènes de Lutèce…

Sloping gently down the Sainte-Geneviève mountain, rue Mouffetard (one of the oldest in the capital) stands out for its dense and picturesque commercial activity. The countless restaurants and cafes rub shoulders with butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers, cheese makers and bakeries, all along this long cobbled street (650 meters) and yet narrow (7 meters). Very frequented by students, the Mouffetard district is all the more lively in the evening, especially on the Place de la Contrescarpe where not stopping for a coffee on the terrace in front of the fountain is ... a real sacrilege!
