La Maison de Verlaine

Unlike other arrondissements, the Latin Quarter was spared from Baron Haussmann’s sweeping renovations of Paris into a modern city. With its narrow, winding cobblestone streets, the Latin Quarter retains much of its old world charm, giving us a glimpse of what Paris looked like during medieval times. This, plus the artistic and intellectual vibe of the neighborhood, are exactly the reasons why I was keen on getting an apartment in this part of the city.
