Art and culture are omnipresent in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Among the many highlights not to be missed are: the worldwide known Louvre Museum, the Orsay Museum, Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral and the Luxembourg Gardens.
Just a short stroll away, other places of interest are the Delacroix Museum, retracing the life of the painter, the Zadkine Museum, displaying the work of the Russian sculptor and the Hébert Museum showing Italy through the artist’s eyes.
For a pleasant evening, attend a show at the Théâtre de l'Odéon or listen to a concert of classical music in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Church.

This area has been attracting many intellectuals since the 17th century. It seems that Saint-Germain-des-Prés has always inspired them. The well-known Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, Le Procope and the Brasserie Lipp were meeting places for animated debates between passionate writers and philosophers. Today, the literary atmosphere still persists with many bookshops, publishers and art galleries having settled in this neighbourhood and especially Rue de Seine.
