What about the Latin Quarter Area

When you're ready for an adventure in history and fun, come stay in Paris' Latin Quarter on the Left Bank! Read below to find out more about what it means to stay in this vibrant, intellectual, bistro-filled area.
Bustling and exciting, Paris' Latin Quarter is alive with bistros and history. It occupies part of the 5th and 6th arrondissements, from the breathtaking gardens of Luxembourg to the beautiful Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
The Latin Quarter is named after the Latin language, spoken by the many scholars who lived here in the Middle Ages. Although Latin no longer spoken in its streets (not frequently, anyway), a number of higher education establishments are still housed here, such as the École Normale Supérieure, the Beaux Arts, Sorbonne, Jussieu University, École des Mines de Paris, and more. As a result, it is a vibrant student district, as well as home to many writers, academics, and journalists. Find apartment rentals in Paris that take you to the center of the fun!

The Hotel de Cluny (the National Museum of the Middle Ages) is located here, sure to be a hit with lovers of antiquity. The Museum of Natural History is also here. And don't forget to see to the breathtaking Pantheon. This church was originally built in dedication to St. Genevieve, and is now the burial place of such luminaries as Emile Zola and Victor Hugo.
The beautiful Luxembourg Gardens is one of Paris' most beautiful parks, also the largest public park in the city. The French Senate is housed in Luxembourg Palace. Enjoy some music over a glass of wine. The gardens include a large fenced-in playground, a puppet theatre, a merry-go-round and occasional pony rides. Free musical performances are presented in a gazebo on the grounds with seating under the trees. In June, come see the open-air opera (www.operaenpleinair.com).
For an intellectual outing, head to the Sainte-Geneviève Library (two million volumes are housed here). Or visit the many area bookshops, such as Shakespeare & Co., specializing in used, rare and antique books: poetry, art, Surrealism and much more. You will find many things are within walking distance of your Paris vacation apartments for rent in the Latin Quarter.
The eastern end of the Latin Quarter is only a footfall away from the Seine, the world-famous Notre Dame and the dual Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis, the islands in the center of Paris. A trip to the Right Bank is as easy as crossing the bridge over the Seine. Your Paris 5th arrondisement apartments rental Quartier Latin, get you there!
For those in need of a little relaxation, many films in the local theatres play with the original English soundtrack, and the Cinema of the Pantheon is great for lovers of art. The theatre of Odéon in the nearby 7th district, home of early French comedy, is also worth a visit.
