Tourism

Stay in the heart of a historic district of Paris

The Latin Quarter is one of the most famous districts of Paris, and also one of the oldest. Organised around the Sorbonne University, it owes its name to the Latin language that was once in common use among the faculty and students of the university colleges that were established there in the Middle Ages.

The Latin Quarter has retained many traces of this erudite past and remains today the academic and intellectual heart of the capital. It houses a large concentration of libraries, and teaching and medical establishments such as the Sorbonne University, the École Normale Supérieure, the Henry IV and Louis Legrand secondary schools, and the Val de Grâce and Pitie-Salpetriere hospitals.

You can also discover two spectacular sites dating from the Gallo-Roman period (the Arènes de Lutèce amphitheatre and the Thermes Romains baths), many churches, famous theatres (Théâtre de l'Odéon, Cabaret du Paradis Latin), and some of the most important and iconic monuments of Paris (Panthéon, Palais du Luxembourg, Hôtel de Cluny - National Museum of the Middle Ages, etc.)
