Luxembourg

Bounded by the boulevard Vaugirard to the north and the boulevard Montparnasse to the south, the Luxembourg district is an essential part of the city of lights.

This district includes one of the most sumptuous decorations of the Capital. The Luxembourg garden, designed by Marie de Médicis, covers 23 hectares and offers its visitors an exceptional setting. The panorama on the Luxembourg Palace, seat of the French Senate, brings its edifying side to the landscape.

If the first houses date back to Roman times, today it is one of the most affluent districts, but also a center of knowledge and science for researchers and students. Remarkable buildings such as the Institute of Art and Archaeology, the Panthéon-Assas University or the Faculty of Pharmacy of Paris make this district a dynamic center for the left bank.

The Luxembourg district is located on the RER B line at the Luxembourg station, there are also metro stops on line 4.
