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.

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!

You can wander around the narrow streets in the Latin Quarter for quite some time. My favorite thing about this area are the many restaurants and cafes, selling all sorts of food. I tried a fondue place which was quite nice. Great area for a stroll or a quick meal.

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.

It’s wonderful to just walk around, have a café and then watch Paris go by at its elegant pace. One of my favorite places in Paris.

When in Paris, we always stay within walking distance of the Latin Quarter...for many reasons! The wide variety of restaurants! The entertainment venues!! The souvenir shops!! And the fact that there is usually something open 24 hours a day (or at least most of our waking hours). Beyond the concentration near the Seine River, the Latin Quarter extends outward to include such cultural sites as the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, the Jardin des Plantes, the Cluny, as well as galleries, churches, and more. And of course, Shakespeare and Company Bookstore is one of its stalwarts. Sometimes we just stroll the streets, window shopping and people watching!! You really can't go wrong visiting this Parisian neighborhood!

Located just across the Ile de la Cite on the Left Bank, this area has retained much of its ancient feel, so walking around this neighbourhood will remind you of what the medieval Paris looks like. Built by the Romans, this was apparently the oldest district in Paris. With its many bars, restaurants, souvenir shops, boutique shops along narrow labyrinthine cobblestone streets, this is probably the most vibrant neighborhood in Paris, with locals, students and tourists buzzing around to create a truly eclectic atmosphere. There are also many other museums and the oldest university in France (Sorbonne) located in this 5th arrondissement which I did not manage to explore, but would do so if I ever make it back to Paris.

The Latin Quarter is a district that you should not miss if you visit Paris. A student neighborhood, full of life, bars and restaurants. In August, when Parisians go on vacation, it's a bit calmer, as if it loses a bit of its atmosphere, especially after the pandemic when the number of tourists is somewhat reduced than before. Either way, it's an absolute must.

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.

We really enjoyed the Citadines saint-germain-des-prés.
The location is great. Right on the Sein, a 10 min walk to Notre Dame, 15 min to the Louvre.

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?

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.
What size are the rooms?

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 😊
