An area of Paris with real
charm, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, symbolizes, along with the Latin Quarter, the
spirit of the Left Bank.
Lying between the jardin du Luxembourg and the Seine,
Saint-Germain-des-Pres made a name for itself after the war as a cultural and
intellectual stronghold of international renown. Actors, writers,
philosophers, poets and journalists rubbed shoulders in a lively neighbourhood
to a fresh, new jazz soundtrack the Parisians were discovering in underground
venues around the city.
An artistic as well as political fervour has therefore left
its mark on Saint-Germain-des-Pres which is still home to many students. The
gilded youth of the Left Bank linger in the famous Deux Magots cafe and Cafe
de Flore while vinyl enthusiasts scour the specialist boutiques on the
boulevard Saint Michel, on the edge of the neighbourhood.
If the contemporary art galleries and bookshops are now
side by side with luxury brand shops, Saint-Germain-des-Pres' cultural past is
still very much in evidence. The breeding ground of creative thought that is
the National School of Fine Arts on rue Bonaparte is ample proof.
