St-Germain-des-Prés

This is the neighborhood that, if you are French, you dream to live in, and if you are a tourist, this is the neighborhood that you come to stroll in and take in a cup of coffee at a street-side cafe.

 

The pretty little must-visit streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés are rue Mazarine, rue de Seine, rue du Dragon, rue de Rennes, rue Bonaparte, rue de Buci, carrefour de l'Odeon, and of course, boulevard Saint Germain.

 

The most famous places to grab a coffee or a meal are Les Deux Maggots, Cafe des Flores, Brasserie Lipp, and Le Procope—make sure not to overlook Cafe Bonaparte. There's plenty to discover in this neighborhood, and if you want to get lost in Paris, start here.

    A few corrections.
    I've enjoyed reading about St Germain des Prés. I'll be there in September, on rue Mazarine.

    A few corrections: It's Bonaparte, café de Flore, and Les deux Magots.
