Location: .6th St-Germain-des-Pres in France
Car: not necessary
Saint-Germain represents the legendary Paris of cafés, jazz clubs, boutiques, bookstores, galleries, and museums. Literary and artistic walks abound in this neighbourhood associated with luminaries including Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir. Rue de Buci is only a block away and has everything from fruit and vegetable stands, gourmet food stores with tantalizing take-away, as well as wine and cheese shops.
A stone’s throw away are three favourite haunts of famous writers, the Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, and Brasserie Lipp.
The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame and Cluny, as well as many other museums are all within a fifteen minute walk. For walking or jogging the Tuileries Garden is located close by and you will never forget the lovely experience of seeing the Louvre and the Tuileries before visiting hours.
Conveniently located to métro stops Odéon and Saint-Michel as well as numerous bus routes.
