This one-time Saint Germain des Pres is located on the Left Bank, across the Seine from the Tuileries. It runs along the southern shore of the Seine, in the 7th and 6th arrondissements, and consists of the area east of boulevard St-Michel as far as to include the Musée d’Orsay. It stretches some 4 to 5 blocks to the south, including boulevard Saint Germain des Pres and several blocks to its south.
It is bordered on the north by the Seine, to the east by the Invalides and Tour Eiffel Quarter, to the south by the Luxembourg Quarter and to the west by the Latin Quarter. The intellectual center of gravity, of this quartier of bistros, bookshops, coffee-houses, galleries, nightclubs and publishing houses, is at the intersection of rue Bonaparte and boulevard St-Germain. This is the location of the Café Les Deux Magots (frequented by the writers of the “Lost Generation” of the 20s and 30s, and by the post World War II Existentialists), the Café de Flore and the Brasserie Lipp.
