Le Quarter Latin / Odéon

Metro: Odeon (lines 4,10), Mabillon (line 10)

Odeon, with its large student population (many universities in the area), cinema, and trendy cafés (like Le Dix, on la rue de l'Odeon, and Chez Georges) is a very lively quartier with much to do and much to see. If you've got a rendez-vous at Odeon, the statue of Danton is a nice meeting place right in front of the metro station. A bit of history: the statue was placed there toward the end of the 19th century. Odeon is also where Le Procope, the oldest café/restaurant in Paris, is located.
