Students have discussed and partied here for over a thousand years. The main part of roman Lutetia was right here on this spot and the first monastic schools were built in the midst of its ruins. Very quickly the Latin Quarter (from the language spoken here) became the leading intellectual center in Europe. And still today loads of students are crowding the medieval cobblestoned streets and the boulevards. This neighborhood – a small city in itself – is an absolute must do.
