SAINT-THOMAS D’AQUIN

The heart of Parisian life, Saint-Thomas d'Aquin is a multi-faceted district where the atmosphere of the city reigns supreme.

Full of mythical places and symbolic streets, the Saint-Thomas d’Aquin district is a must in the 7th arrondissement. Crossed by the rue de Sèvre, the rue du Bac and the boulevard Saint-Germain, it is difficult to escape the typically Parisian atmosphere of the area.

In front of the Sèvre-Babylone metro exit, you will come face to face with the first department stores’ to be built: the Bon Marché. Founded in 1838, this refined and singular place with its cutting-edge selection and top-of-the-range services is a reference on the Left Bank. Designed by the architect Louis-Charles Boileau and the engineer Gustave Eiffel, its building combines non-conformism and elegance. Dressed inside with sublime Art Deco windows, you can’t escape its dazzling escalator, sublimated at every opportunity by artists of all kinds.

A joyful mix of genres, Saint-Thomas d’Aquin is also home to the Sciences Po school, the Hôtel Matignon, the Ministry of National Education, and numerous embassies and universities, adding to its student and political character.

Of course, there is no shortage of good places to go, with prestigious restaurants, excellent food shops and fantastic bookshops offering an incomparable quality of life.
