A Gallo-Roman amphitheater from the 1st century AD, it could seat more than 15,000 people, and was used as a theater, circus (wild animals and gladiatorial contests) and sporting arena.
One of Paris traditional markets held every day and particularly animated on week-ends ; definitely feels like being part of a Paris postcard
Second largest park and definitely one of my favorite places in Paris ; just walk around, sit to grab a bite, run around the park, play tennis or watch people go by, in brief enjoy its multiple lives
Originally built as a church, it's now a mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens. Free entry for young Europeans under 26.
Recently renovated (2008) it is a beautiful and rare Middle Age building ; originally built around 1250 to accommodate the Cistercian religious students at the University of Paris
Walk in the park, pass by the building where Pierre and Marie Curie worked, visit the Menagerie (one of the oldest zoo in the world), enter the National Museum of Natural History and its greenhouses
A well known plaza and meeting point in the neighborhood ; have a look at the statue of Danton (an important man of the French Revolution).
A Museum about French Middle Age and the Cluny abbey ; the building is also built on top of Gallo-Roman thermal baths, of which you can see remains and the still up frigidarium.
Enter the Quartier Latin by this place and its fountain ; this is still a common meeting place for Parisians.
Created at the beginning of the 12th century, it was then the central point of the University of Paris ; students met, listened to teachers, partied and fought there
Don't just pass by, enter and you'll discover a really beautiful and unique church ; it contains pieces of the French History such as the shrine that contained relics of St Genevieve
