Latin Quarter

From our hotel in the Latin Quarter in Paris, you are plunged into the heart of this cinematic backdrop: just a few steps are all it takes to reach the banks of the Seine, the Sorbonne, or the Panthéon. Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and Cluny-La Sorbonne stations make getting around effortless. To fully savour the experience, enjoy a peaceful morning walk to discover a quieter neighbourhood, or wait for the evening, when the streets come alive and the terraces light up and fill.

An exceptional heritage at every turn

Famous worldwide, the Latin Quarter embodies the scholarly and historic soul of Paris. Its name dates back to the Middle Ages, when students and professors at the Sorbonne conversed in Latin, the universal language of knowledge.

You will encounter an abundant heritage here: the Sorbonne and the Panthéon, the Saint-Séverin church, the Arènes de Lutèce, and of course, the Cluny Museum. Every street (most of them cobblestoned) tells of a different era, and every square opens onto a new story.

Along your walk, independent bookshops and the booksellers along the quays exist in harmony with literary cafés, jazz clubs-such as Le Caveau de la Huchette-and countless gourmet spots.

From our hotel in the Latin Quarter, Rue Mouffetard is just a short distance away. It extends the student spirit, while the Shakespeare and Company bookshop keeps alive the area’s cosmopolitan tradition with its English-language literature.

The neighbourhood’s atmosphere has greatly inspired writers and filmmakers: Ernest Hemingway dedicated memorable pages to it in A Moveable Feast, and Woody Allen set unforgettable scenes from his 2011 film Midnight in Paris.

As always, our team is available to recommend itineraries, book your visits, and share the best local addresses, to ensure your discovery of the Latin Quarter becomes an unforgettable experience.
