Opposite of Notre Dame, along the Seine River, exceptional. Since the Middle Ages, the Latin Quarter has been an academic centre of knowledge and learning built around the Sorbonne University, which was founded in 1231 by Robert de Sorbon, and reputable lycées. This is why it conjures up images of old cobblestones, bohemian writers and carousing students. The narrow streets also seethe with perpetual eruptions as students' slogans and demonstrations echo the songs of François Villon. The area is full of hot and trendy spots to dine out or hang around, fine or casual dining places, banks, cafes, restaurants, gym, churches, bakeries... and much more.
