Latin Quarter Holiday Packages

Quartier Latin Holiday Packages

From the panache and l’amour to the croissants, Paris is one of the most magnetic cities in the world. The Quartier Latin, situated on the left bank of the River Seine, is one of the most elegant parts of the city. With its bistros, cafes, universities and winding streets, a Quartier Latin holiday gives you a sense of old-world glamour in the French capital.

Things to Do in the Quartier Latin

After you've booked your Quartier Latin holiday package, throw on a beret to get in the mood and begin planning your itinerary. One popular attraction is the Pantheon, a crypt that houses the remains of some of the most famous people in French history. Ponder the lessons of Voltaire and Victor Hugo as you explore its halls. If you've got the stamina, you can climb the 206 steps up to the dome for a rewarding view of Paris. Nearby is the Arenes de Lutece, an ancient Roman theatre that is now an archaeological park and a real treat for history buffs. If you've got a few days to spend, look into car hire options in Quartier Latin on Wotif and check out some of the sights outside the city limits.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

One of the best things about Quartier Latin holidays is the shopping. There aren't many giant malls and chain stores around here, nor should there be—this is a city full of trendy, one-of-a-kind boutiques and haute couture. Getting lost in the cobblestone streets is all part of the experience. La Rue Mouffetard is the place to go for high-quality wine, and a plethora of small independent shops in the area sell everything from secondhand books and vinyl records to macarons.

As you walk around the Quartier Latin, you’ll lose your “rind” at the sight of the mouthwatering cheeses selections and the smell of freshly baked baguettes. It's just as well that there are plenty of places to eat in the area, ranging from budget-friendly cafes to the very top end of French cuisine. Rue Clovis has a cluster of famed restaurants that every traveller should experience before their trip is over. You definitely won't be left hungry, and you may even have room for some petits fours.

After dinner, head out on the town. Given that the Quartier Latin is home to a number of students, artists and musicians, it's not surprising that the nightlife here revolves around small, cosy jazz bars and dimly lit pubs. Visitors can find many of these intimate grottos right off of the Boulevard Saint-Germain.
