MARTYRS

Crossing from the 9th to the 18th arrondissement, the Rue des Martyrs stretches for 885 metres: an ascent from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Montmartre.

Typically, Parisian and with a lot of cachet, the street has managed to preserve its charm of yesteryear despite the surrounding transformations. It is an ode to gastronomy as it concentrates many food shops with tempting stalls that make it one of the most appetizing streets in Paris. But since the development of “SoPi” around it, it is also a landmark of galleries and trendy boutiques.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Emblematic district of the left bank, Saint-Germain-des-Près has always been considered as the epicenter of the Parisian intellectual life, having hosted many personalities such as Serge Gainsbourg, Juliette Gréco, Boris Vian, Alain Delon, Pablo Picasso or Jim Morisson.

The famous Café de Flore, the Deux Magots and the Lipp brasserie, landmarks of many authors, singers and musicians of the 1950s, have not lost their superb reputation. They maintain the reputation of the district throughout the world.

If today the trendy and high-end boutiques are spreading, between the church of Saint-Germain and the Seine, the narrow streets lined with 17th century hotels remain the stronghold of art galleries and antique dealers – Kamel Mennour, Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois, Loevenbruck, Folia, Kreo.

Saint-Germain-des-Près is a small corner of elegance, whose particular aura attracts a chic and arty population.
