The former center of the existentialist movement associated with authors like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Saint Germain des Pres Quarter is now a swanky upscale neighborhood. Situated on the Seine River, this area is also an artistic hub, with many prestigious museums, art galleries, and small workshops. The district offers excellent people watching while sitting at one of the many outdoor cafes. You'll know you're in the right neighborhood when you see the famous Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés; built in 990 CE, it’s home to one of the oldest bell towers in France.

  カフェ巡りにおすすめの地区です。ドゥ・マゴに行きたくて一つ前の駅から歩いていこうとしましたが、疲れていたため、思ったよりも距離があって、挫折しました。予定とは違うカフェに入りましたが、コーヒーの味は普通でした。ただ、お菓子がちょこっとついていたりして、心配りを感じました。  more »

  It is a recommended area for café hopping. I wanted to go to de Mago and I tried to walk from the station before, but because I was tired, there was a distance than I thought, and I was frustrated. I went to a café which was different from the schedule, but the taste of coffee was normal. However, it was a bit of a treat, and I felt the care.
