Your stroll through the heart of Saint-Germain des Prés begins in the square of the same name, one of the oldest in Paris. As you stroll along the cobbled streets, you'll get a full sense of the artistic and historical atmosphere, with Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre as its leading figures.
You'll have the chance to linger in front of the sumptuous Cour d'Honneur of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The atmosphere of this district, once inhabited by Delacroix and other great historical figures, has lost none of its intellectual aura; playwrights, writers, songwriters, photographers and painters continue to occupy the premises.
Your visit ends with the history of the Carrefour Odéon, where you can admire the remains of Philippe Auguste's wall. At this point, you can admire the Procope, the oldest café in Paris.
