The Saint-Germain-des-Prés district is located in the 6th arrondissement around the abbey of the same name. Little by little, a small agglomeration formed around the Abbey which was consecrated around 558 by the bishop of Paris, Germain. The district acquired its unique soul because of attraction it had on intellectuals since the 17th century. The latter would pass through Saint-Germain and leave the imprint of their talents. At the time, Saint-Germain-des-Prés was but a small village. After the Second World War, the district became the place to be for all intellectual and cultural life of Paris with artists such as Marguerite Duras, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

A visit to the area should begin with the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Its tower and nave constitute some of the oldest Parisian vestiges of Romanesque architecture (11th and 12th centuries). Music lovers will appreciate its rich musical programme. Amongst the luxury boutiques and art galleries that may be found in the area, enjoy a break at one of the terraces of the area’s most iconic cafes: the Café de Flore, the Deux Magots, and the brasserie Lipp, the meeting places of the artists and intellectuals since the early 20th century.

St Germain des Prés is one of the best places to walk and go out at night. I strongly recommend any guests to visit this nice part of the capital. Café de Flore is one of the most famous cafés in Paris.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés has an artistic allure and storied literary history – Oscar Wilde lived at what is now the very hip L’Hotel, and classic locales like Café de Flore and Deux Magots were hangouts for figures like Sartre, de Beauvoir and Camus. Today, the existentialists may be long gone, but the perennially cool café culture remains. Top art gallery Kamel Mennour has raised the neighbourhood’s contemporary art profile, and fine cocktails can be found at the Prescription Cocktail Club.
