Paris travel guide
Where to Stay in Paris: Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter, or Montparnasse?
Choose Saint-Germain for its famous cafés and galleries, the Latin Quarter for bookshops and literary streets, or Montparnasse for historic cafés and artists’ studios.


Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Stay here for Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp, galleries, and Sylvia Beach’s original Shakespeare and Company on rue de l’Odéon. The Panthéon, Cardinal-Lemoine, and Montparnasse will be separate outings.

The Latin Quarter
Stay in the lower Latin Quarter for today’s Shakespeare and Company, Notre-Dame, and the Seine. Choose the upper quarter for Place de la Contrescarpe and Ernest Hemingway’s first Paris address. The two areas offer noticeably different stays.
