10. Playing Hooky in Le Quartier Latin

This walk started with a beautiful fountain that was of Saint Michel slaying a dragon. Then we went to a theater that housed the production of La Lecon in 1957. This show is still running today.

The Fountain.


The theater that has been running for 53 years.

We walked down a pretty narrow street that had so much eye candy and ended at l'eglise Saint-Severin. It is a small church that has really intresting glass windows because they seem to be like an 80's modern pattern. I thought that it was really cool and a nice change. I also loved how they put really pretty flowered branches over the cross.


Cool 80's window.


Amazing lighting.

We then went through another old street in Paris and saw the oldest cafe in Paris. We then ventured to the a famous pastry shop that the booked talk about with high reviews but sadly it was not there any more. So we made our way to rue de Seine which was filled with galleries left and right. They were all really nice to go and explore in. Some were amazing photography galleries and others were masterful modern art galleries. Also off this street is the best fine arts school in paris that many legends have attended. It was closed so we couldn't wonder the halls but it was nice to see the artistic gates.


The cafe maybe old but its still in tact.

After maneuvering through the tiny streets we walked along the Seine and saw all of the different street vendors. They all seemed to see the same stuff but it was still fun to look at. The weather was so perfect and it made this walk perfect. I really enjoy being in the Latin quarter.
