The Latin Quarter, located on the Left Bank of the Seine, is a historic neighbourhood known for its ties to education and culture. The district, which dates back to the Middle Ages, earned its name because Latin was once the common language of the area’s universities.

The bustling atmosphere reflects the area’s modern-day role as a hub for students, creatives, and visitors alike, making it a vibrant and engaging part of Paris to explore.

Notre Dame Cathedral reopened to the public, welcoming visitors back to one of Paris' most iconic landmarks.
