THE LATIN QUARTER
A must-see tour of the Left Bank
The Latin Quarter owes its name to the medieval period, during which teaching in schools and universities was in Latin. This emblematic district of Paris has always been appreciated by artists and writers and there are many bookshops.
It is in this district that you will find the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Musée National du Moyen-Âge, the Sorbonne and above all the Panthéon, where the great personalities of French history are buried.
The Latin Quarter is about 2 km from the Place des Alpes hotel and is easily accessible by public transport.
