A charming Parisian café just around the corner from our new Alicante vacation rental in the Latin Quarter!
What comes to mind when you think of the Latin Quarter in Paris? For us it is those charming cobblestone streets, Parisian cafés that still evoke their artistic and literary past and perusing the bookshelves at Shakespeare & Company. Then there’s a stroll along the Seine with the soaring towers and buttresses of Notre-Dame Cathedral just across the river or watching Foucault’s pendulum swinging in the Panthéon. Food lovers might be thinking of the historic open air-markets or strolling down the Rue Mouffetard market street. Whatever the Latin Quarter means to you, this neighborhood captures so much of what is at the heart of Paris – a lively atmosphere, history and tons of charm!

The Charms of the Latin Quarter
A bicycle and cafés – a typical Parisian scene in the Latin Quarter!
The Latin Quarter is one of Paris’ most popular neighborhoods and it’s easy to see why! Just strolling through the cobblestone streets you’ll enjoy that unique Parisian atmosphere mixed with the liveliness of its younger crowd of students from the Sorbonne or one of the many schools and universities in the area. These students carry on the long academic tradition that gave the Latin Quarter its name – from the language that used to be spoken in this historic neighborhood! While exploring the medieval streets you’ll spot students studying and talking at the local cafés and tons of bookstores. It’s astounding to think that these very streets have been the academic heart of Paris for over 700 years!
Walk along the Seine and see the Cathedral of Notre-Dame every day!
Just across the Seine from the 5th arrondissement you’ll spot the soaring towers of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, one of the most impressive Gothic churches in the world! Cross the Seine to the Ile de la Cité where you can visit the cathedral and other famous spots on the island, such as the gorgeous stained glass at Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie – a former prison that housed many illustrious prisoners. Cross over to the charming Ile Saint-Louis to explore the medieval streets and fine views from this historic island in the Seine.
Enjoy shopping for the freshest ingredients at the Place Maubert open air market or along the famous Rue Mouffetard
The 5th arrondissement is home to several excellent open-air markets, including one of the oldest in Paris at Place Maubert. This is very close to both the Alicante and Lussac vacation rentals, and guests will love shopping alongside Parisians for the freshest ingredients for a simple and lovely dinner at home. Don’t miss the chance to stroll down Rue Mouffetard, a famous market street located south of the Panthéon in the 5th arrondissement. It’s a paradise for gourmands in Paris! The Latin Quarter is known for its many restaurants and cafés, and we’ll share with you our favorites in the neighborhood when you book your Paris Perfect vacation rental. That way you’ll know the best spots where Parisians dine so that you will feel like a local from the moment you arrive!
