Paris Latin Quarter And St-germain (5ème, 6ème)

The Latin Quarter and St-Germain tend to be two of Paris's primary tourist neighborhoods. From the hustle and bustle of the predatory cafes around St-Michel to the residential areas around Cardinal Lemoine and Jussieu, the schmoozy galleries of Odéon to the best museums Paris has to offer (Musée de Cluny, Musée Delacroix), the fifth and sixth arrondissements truly have it all. They're also eminently walkable. Don't head underground during the day; you'll only encounter pickpockets, scammers, crowds, and—in the summertime—sweaty Metro rides.
