    This is a great rating given the weather!

    It rained the entire time I was in Paris (January 2018). Cold and rainy, not much to enjoy. However, even with the inclimate weather, I had a decent walk along the BSG, although I had to walk fast and dodge umbrellas.

    Long and Varied

    This very long boulevard traces an arc-like path through the inner Left Bank area so it includes a lot: Universities and book stores; movie theaters and cool cafes; historic restaurants; fancy apartments; and lots of shopping. Ride the bus and look out the windows.

    Saint-Germain-des-Pres
    In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, life is effortlessly chic
    and all things are beautiful. The main boulevard is
    dotted with famed terraced cafés, haut-couture shops,
    ivy-covered railings and fine-dining restaurants.
    Antique dealers and art galleries surround the fine
    art school and small museums hide in unassuming
    squares. The neighborhood’s namesake church is the
    oldest in Paris and is the backdrop for talented
