SORBONNE I PANTHEON

The Sorbonne I Panthéon district is a student district by excellence, but it is no less historical. This picturesque district with its architectural treasures offers unique landscapes and a breathtaking view of the Île de la Cité and its Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.

Since the foundation of the Sorbonne in the 13th century, the district has become a real student crossroads, home to many prestigious schools such as the Lycée Henri IV and the École Polytechnique. Numerous specialised bookshops have been set up there, giving students access to rare resources.

Inhabited by the Pantheon, the district has also acquired a strong historical character. This magnificent neo-classical building, which has become a temple to great men, is now home to many French figures such as Victor Hugo, Voltaire, Rousseau and Simone Veil.

Its winding streets, small shops and crowded cafés at the exit of the courtyards create a light and lively atmosphere, endowing the district with a unique charm.
