The Latin Quarter

The Latin Quarter, located on the left bank of the Seine, embodies the intellectual and historical soul of Paris. The district takes its name from the Middle Ages, when Latin was the language of the students and scholars who frequented the Sorbonne and other prestigious institutions.

Even today, it remains a hotbed of learning and cultural activity. Between the cobbled streets, you'll discover lively cafés, iconic bookshops like Shakespeare and Company, and monuments such as the Pantheon and the Musée de Cluny.

Just a few minutes' walk from Ile Saint-Louis and the Hôtel du Jeu de Paume, this district is the ideal place to extend a stroll along the Seine. To stroll through the Latin Quarter is to plunge into a vibrant atmosphere, where every street corner invites discovery and wonder.
