The construction of the 5th arrondissement, also known as the Latin Quarter, dates back to the 1st century BC. Located on the left bank of the Seine, it is bordered by the 4th, 6th, and 14th arrondissements. It takes that name from the numerous schools of the University of Paris that were installed all teaching and speaking in Latin. This district has had a history of scholars and young activists inhabiting it. In fact, in May 1968, the Latin Quarter was the center of student revolt, which led to the occupation of the Sorbonne, the most famous and prestigious university in Paris. The Pantheon, which stands just near the town hall of the 5th, was initially planned to be a church, but it now houses and honors excellent characters who made a mark on French history. 

Paris’s 4th arrondissement is among the City of Lights’ oldest neighborhoods, dating back to its first inhabitants in the 1st century BC. This Renaissance-era district is characterized by many monuments but is particularly referred to by the square Hotel-de-Ville, a significant location during the French Revolution and considered a part of Le Marais. This vibrant and historical neighborhood, nestled along the right bank (Rive Droite) of the Seine, remains one of the most popular arrondissements in which to live and thrive.
