Rue de Rennes
Running through the 6th Arrondissement from Montparnasse towards Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Rue de Rennes is one of the Left Bank’s main shopping streets. Busy and commercial, it brings together French and international fashion brands, shoes, accessories, beauty and everyday shopping, making it very different from the smaller gallery and designer streets nearby.
As you move north from Montparnasse, explore the shops around Saint-Placide and the surrounding streets, where fashion is joined by restaurants, cafés, food shops and specialist boutiques. Around Saint-Sulpice, the wider shopping area becomes increasingly refined, with fashion, beauty, interiors and independent addresses extending into the neighbouring streets.
Continue towards Boulevard Saint-Germain and the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés for galleries, designer boutiques, historic cafés and restaurants, or step away from Rue de Rennes towards Rue Bonaparte and Place Saint-Sulpice for a more elegant and independent shopping experience.
Explore Rue de Rennes with TLC Paris to discover fashion, beauty, shopping, restaurants and cafés, while using the street as a practical route between Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
