Ever heard of Moleskine, the note-book? Well they have edited collection about various cities such as Paris, Tokyo etc.
Here is what they say about Montparnasse on their blog:
“The Montparnasse quarter has so much to discover, but it’s not too large to visit the whole area. That’s why it’s at the top of my list of places to go in Paris. In order to get there, you pass behind the Tour Montparnasse and into the quarter, where – if you chose to follow my advice – you should head for the rue Montparnasse not to be confused with the boulevard de Montparnasse!). Along the rue is a Thai restaurant, that is said to be very good indeed, it’s called Krua Thai. The food is supposed to be tasty and most of all authentic. Move on to the boulevard Edgar Quinet, a street completely lined with trees with the Tower, the tallest skyscraper in France, at the end of it and every Sunday there’s an artist’s market there. Then follow the street signs to reach the famous Montparnasse Cemetery, where you can’t not take a picture next to the grave of Alfred Dreyfus.”
