Boulevard Saint-Germain
One of the defining boulevards of the Left Bank of Paris, Boulevard Saint-Germain stretches through the 5th, 6th and 7th arrondissements, connecting historic Paris with the galleries, fashion, cafés and elegant streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Its character changes along the route, making it one of the most rewarding boulevards for exploring the Rive Gauche on foot.
At the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, discover legendary cafés including Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots, alongside designer fashion, beauty, interiors, bookshops and art galleries. Step into the surrounding streets around Rue Bonaparte and Place Saint-Sulpice for smaller boutiques, galleries, restaurants and some of the most elegant shopping streets on the Left Bank.
Further east, the boulevard leads towards the historic streets of the Latin Quarter, while west of Saint-Germain the atmosphere becomes more refined and institutional as the boulevard continues through the 7th Arrondissement. Along the way, museums, churches, historic buildings, restaurants and cafés reveal different layers of Left Bank Paris.
