The Place des Vosges in the Marais<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once the center of medieval Paris, the 4th covers the historic Marais and the \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9, which has become virtually essential on every visitor’s checklist. Its marvels include Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris’ original City Hall (H\u00f4tel de Ville), the Pompidou Center<\/strong> and the charming Jewish quarter<\/strong> that leads towards what many consider to be the most beautiful square in Paris: the Place des Vosges.<\/strong> We won’t say too much more, as there’s almost too much to tell you. But the best way to discover the 4th arrondissement is undoubtedly by exploring it on foot. So here’s a short list of its greatest attractions:
\n 
\n[eltd_list_ordered]<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Pompidou Center (the largest museum of modern and contemporary art in Europe \u2013 the building is a feat of modern art in itself)<\/li>\n
  2. Notre Dame Cathedral (the world’s most famous Gothic cathedral \u2013 stained glass windows, gargoyles, handsome towers…it doesn’t get much better than this!)<\/li>\n
  3. The Place des Vosges (formerly the Place Royale of the French nobility \u2013 with its red brick vaulted arcades and beautiful gardens, this is Paris’ most luxurious square.) Don’t forget to pay a visit to the Maison Victor Hugo (the former residence of France’s greatest Romantic writer)<\/li>\n
  4. Visit one of the glorious H\u00f4tels Particuliers (classical free-standing mansions turned museums, including the H\u00f4tel de Sully, H\u00f4tel de Carnavalet and H\u00f4tel de Soubise)<\/li>\n
  5. Indulge in an authentic bistro dinner at Chez Janou, or tuck into a falafel at the city’s best Lebanese restaurant, L’As Du Falaffel<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Pantheon in Paris’ Latin Quarter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Located on the left bank of the Seine, the 5th arrondissement is also known as the Latin Quarter<\/strong> and is home to Paris’ oldest university, the Sorbonne<\/strong>. With traces of its Roman origins blended with a lively new district of elite schools, universities and colleges, the 5th is the perfect place to be if you’re a student, expat or young family.
    \n 
    \nBe sure to check out Shakespeare & Company<\/strong>, a quaint old English bookstore right by Notre Dame, where you can browse the shelves, play an old piano upstairs and attend the regular lecutres and literary discussions for free. Once you’ve conquered the Pantheon<\/strong>, don’t forget to head east to explore the Rue Mouffetard district,<\/strong> where you’ll find an unpretentious open market and a series of pedestrian streets lined with vintage shops, bars and restaurants. Here are our favorite spots in a nutshell:
    \n 
    \n[eltd_list_ordered]<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Pantheon (a neoclassical structure built in the style of the Pantheon of Rome, which now serves as a mausoleum for some of France’s most famous citizens, including \u00c9mile Zola, Victor Hugo, Voltaire and Louis Braille)<\/li>\n
    2. La Grande Mosqu\u00e9e de Paris (Paris’ largest mosque, founded in honour of the Muslims who lost their lives fighting in WW1)<\/li>\n
    3. The Ar\u00e8nes de Lut\u00e8ce (a Gallo-Roman amphitheatre that once hosted gladitorial fights)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n 
      \nYou can’t deny yourself breakfast at Les Deux Magots<\/strong>, the snazzy former hangout of the French intelligentsia that included Alfred Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Nor should you overlook a fuss-free feast at the iconic Brasserie Lipp<\/strong>, where the food is hearty and the service impeccable. So, without further ado, we give you the 6th arrondissement in 5 points:
