4. Paris des Arts:

Saint Germain des Prés

St Germain has always been the center of Parisian culture, from the

first cafés in the 16th century to the emergence of “literary cafés”, such

as Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots and Lipp, to the avant-guard

movement in the 60’s … until nowadays.

Avant-guard, rebel and yet chic, Saint Germain is the most iconic

neighborhood and the epicenter of the intellectual and artistic life of

Paris with a rich cultural history. Art galleries, bookstores, antique

shops, great cafés with sidewalk terrace, restaurants for all tastes.
