Saint-Germain
The Saint-Germain district is one of the coziest, most harmonious, and beloved places in Paris. The old parish church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, under the sharp spire of which the mathematician René Descartes is buried, stands as a constant guardian of the suburb.
The dazzling Boulevard Saint-Germain, flooded with warm theatrical light in the evenings, shelters casual strollers and tourists. A showcase district, an attraction district, preserving all the charm of authentic Paris thanks to its narrow streets, old houses, and graceful alleys; thanks to the eternal guardians of the Luxembourg Gardens, reminding late promenaders every evening about the park's closing.
One of the oldest cafes in Paris, dating back to 1686, was opened here, where Voltaire used to drink forty cups of coffee a day. Here are also the legendary literary cafes Cafe de Flore and Les Deux Magots, where Hemingway once sat. And in the church of Saint-Sulpice, where Victor Hugo got married, you can find the Rose Line or the zero meridian according to Dan Brown's descriptions. Saint-Germain is rich in treasures! Here you will find the best bakeries, the most wonderful Opera pastries, the freshest pâtés, and the most exquisite blood sausage in the area.
