The Rue du Bac is widely regarded as one of Paris's best addresses. Running south from the Seine river, it passes through the heart of Saint Germain des Pres, the most sought after and expensive 'quartier' in Paris, and extends all the way down to Montparnasse.
The Saint Germain des Pres area-
Our apartment on the Rue du Bac is between the Seine and the Boulevard Saint Germain. Within easy walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (official residence of the French Prime Minister). For those who are more interested in shopping than sightseeing, the immediate area is also full of famous designer shops (Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton...), as well as lesser known but equally chic Parisian boutiques. And because Saint Germain des Pres is home to so many of the city's most fashionable people, the streets themselves provide a glimpse of elegant Parisien style.
