In the Area

The Latin Quarter
This is the oldest and intellectual center of Paris and acquired its name around 1253 when all students and professors at the Sourbonne spoke Latin. Bookstores, schools, churches, jazz clubs, Roman ruins, publishing houses, and boutiques, characterize the district. It is the traditional center of what was called "bohemian Paris". It formed the setting for Puccini's opera, 'La Boheme'.

The Pantheon
Constructed by Louis XV in 1744 in gratitude for recovering from gout, this massive temple to the great men of France houses the bodies of Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau, Marat, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, and Jean Moulin (hero of the French Resistance during WWII).

Jardin du Luxembourg
Jardin du Luxembourg is the most loved park in Paris. It is large and has fountains, flowers, statues, tennis courts, concerts in the summer and on Sunday, Tai Chi. Within the park is located the Palais du Luxembourg, home to the French Senate. Next to the senate is the Musee du Luxembourg, which often has art exhibitions. Nearby on rue de Fleurus lived Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Tokas who opened their home to many famous expatriates, writers and artists, including Hemingway and Picasso.

Musee de Cluny
Was once a medieval monastery, built on the ruins of a vast third-century Roman bathhouse. Today, it is a museum of medieval antiquities. The remains of the bathhouse can be seen just behind the museum.

St. Sulpice
Work on the church of St-Suplice, at one time Paris's largest, began in 1646, but is stilll ongoing. It has one of the world's largest organs, comprising 6,700 pipes. The Chapelle des Anges (Chapel of the Angel) has two frescoes by Delacroix which were painted in Delacroix's final years and were a high point in his career. Outside the Church is a large square with the 1844 fountain by Visconti at its center. It is the location of the annual Foire de Saint-German held at the beginning of June and which lasts for a month. This fair has been an annual tradition for centuries.

Arenes du Lutece
Built during the 1st and 2nd centuries, this amphitheater could seat 15,000 people, hosting gladiator fights as well as less bloody entertainment.

Notre-Dame de Paris
The Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris dates back to 1163 but was not completed until 1345. It is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art in Western Europe. Its facade, the soaring Gothic ribbed vaulting, its huge light-filled interior and awe-inspiring stained glass windows are magnificent artistic achievements. The square in front of the Cathedral is called the Place du Parvis. In the center is a plaque from which all road distances in France are measured. Of course, this is the setting for Victor Hugo's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'.

La Sainte Chapelle
See the exquisite stained glass windows of this small 12th century church built by Louis IX to house what he believed to be a part of the Cross and for which he paid more than the church itself. Try to visit on a sunny day when it looks like a 'jewel box'
