The area is the Center of Paris, Left Bank, full of hot and trendy spots to dine out or hang around,

churches, bakeries... and much more!
The Rue Mouffetard, at 5mns walking distance,
is one of Paris oldest and liveliest neighborhoods......Start
walking down rue Mouffetard, there is a story behind just about
every number on the street. Some are small: number 6 has a small
butcher's insignia dating from the 18th century; number 9 has an
inscription - difficult to read - recalling the demolition in
1685 of the Porte Saint-Marcel. Some stories are a bit bigger.
For example number 53's story: On May 24 1938, while demolishing
the house there, a hidden treasure of Louis Nivelle, counselor
to the King was discovered. 3,351 pieces of gold, most of them
bearing the likeness of Louis XV were eventually distributed
among 84 descendents, but first after paying the costs of the
genealogists, the construction crew, and the City of Paris.
At number 60 there is the Fountaine du Pot-de-Fer, a small
fountain dating back to Roman times, and later connected to an
aquaduct used by Marie de Médicis to bring water for the nearby
Palais du Luxembourg and gardens. Number 134 has a painted
façade of obscure origins - but its been there a while ...See
for yourself!!
Since the Middle Ages, the Latin Quarter has been an academic
centre of knowledge and learning built around the Sorbonne
University.
