South Of The Seine
The Left Bank is one of the city's most romantic districts. This is
the Paris of another era; the Paris of Pablo Picasso, Henri
Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and dozens of
other members of the great artistic community at Montparnasse.
The Left Bank has become a name for a particular style of life,
fashion, or "look". Some of its famous streets are the Boulevard
Saint-Germain, Boulevard Saint-Michel, and the Rue de Rennes.
Le Quartier Latin is a Left Bank area, in the 5th arrondissement,
so named because it has been the center of Paris' university life
for over seven hundred years - our hotel was across the street
from the medical school.
