It is one of the most tony and harmonic places of Paris. Dazzling boulevard Saint Germain, Latin quartier is a favorite spot for free-of-time walkers. It is a quartier–showcase and at the same time it still keeps all this charm of an old city.
This place is also incredibly famous due to its pompous house development of baron Haussmann and restaurant-bohemian brands. The oldest café in the world was opened there, the café of Sicilian Procop, where Voltaire was drinking 40 cups per day. There are also legendary Cafe de Flore and Les Deux Magots, frequently visited by Hemingway.
There are the best bakeries, markworthy fancy cakes Opera, the remarkable goose liver paste, and the best blood sausage in the district. It is a very pleasant place for both, eyes and stomach.
I invite you for a historic-culinary stroll with me in the Saint Germain and Latin quartiers. We could get to the local market, taste French chocolate, croissants and savoury masterworks of French cuisine. This district offers a glimpse of authentic Parisian life.
I will talk to you about Frenchmen, about their moods, their fears, their hobbies and some stereotypes. You will know where and who eats frogs in France, at what time you could get to have a lunch or a dinner in the restaurant, why it is so common to make pee in the streets, why on Wednesdays there are so many children outside and so and so forth. I will show to you what is ‘La vie en rose’, and why and how ‘La vie est belle’.
