for lovers of leisurely walks :

Always full of people and lively, the Jardin du Luxembourg is a favoured place in this neighbourhood, and when summer arrives a mass of people meet here. It is an ideal place to meet people and to see all of Paris.

If you want to be charmed by the signs of the past, the Îlot St André des Arts and the Cour du Commerce will take you on a walk back in time, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.

Finally, the St Germain des Prés neighbourhood opens the doors to an authentic small village, with the Place de Furstenberg. You can take your time wandering around the stalls of the Grand Marché de Buci. The St Sulpice neighbourhood is also a very pleasant neighbourhood with its numerous small old roads organized in a star shape around the Place St Sulpice, such as the Rue du Cherche Midi, an ancient Roman road from the 14th century.

The Odéon neighbourhood contains numerous cultural sites: the Musée d' Histoire de la Médecine, the Musée de la Minéralogie and the Musée du Luxembourg which houses the Senate. For a pleasant rest, you can attend a show at the Théâtre de l'Odéon.

As rich as the Odéon neighbourhood, Saint Germain des Prés also possesses numerous museums. The Musée Delacroix, which relates the life of the painter, the Musée de la Monnaie, the Musée Zadkine, which is the museum displaying the work of the Russian sculptor Zadkine, and, finally, the Musée Hébert, which offers us its view of Italy through its paintings.

Saint Germain des Prés is a place where shopping is the key activity. Its distinctive feature is the emergence over several years of clothes shops which have stifled the other shops and taken their place.

The Rue de Rennes is the most commercial street in Paris, and is a "must", as is the Boulevard de l'Odéon.
