The 10 Best Things to do in Odéon / Saint-Michel, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

I hate to say I came here and saw La cantatrice chauve almost sixty years ago, then the same thirty years ago, then this week again. They haven’t aged! It’s the same wonderful absurdist play by Eugène Ionesco. The actors were very professional. The set could have been more evocative of a British drawing room, but was adequate. The play lasts only one hour, followed by La leçon, which was already sold out, maybe because the performance we went to had English subtitles (Wednesdays only). The staff is helpful and amusing. Before and after the show one can enjoy rue de la Huchette and the surrounding streets that are a lot of fun.

This famous Left Bank neighborhood, so named because the numerous university students in the area spoke only Latin to their professors until the French Revolution, preserves an authentic Parisian atmosphere of old.

A popular Left Bank street market near Boulevard St. Germain.
Reviewed By 329kayr - San Francisco, United States
This neighborhood market is a REAL market, full of tantalizing products. The vendors are helpful and nice. We found all the produce to be wonderful, beautifully displayed. And the cheeses ! Walking around this market is very enjoyable, even in the rain.

This beautiful Gothic cathedral once served as the main church for the entire Left Bank.
Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia
Located in the 5th Arr, stands this gothic church, (we especially love the gargoyles), built in the mid 7th century, standing the test of times,(after a couple of rebuilds), surrounded by lovely tight streets/alleys that haven't been Haussmann’ed. Inside it is a little dark and gloomy, however, this simply adds to the ecclesiastical atmosphere.

I was with my daughter and daughter-in-law while they shopped at the shops along Boulevard Saint Germain when we stumbled upon this small cobblestone passageway. (I actually think one of them was looking for a particular shop that was located here.) The passageway contains some unique shops and restaurants and is very peaceful and relaxing, especially compared to the hectic pace and traffic of the nearby boulevard. While standing in a shop that sold spices, pastries and ice cream, I suddenly realized that I had actually been there before. Memories flooded back of a previous trip to Paris years ago with me standing around in nearly the exact spot as my loving wife bought spices to take back home. Oh, sweet memories!

I always try to book (easily, on-line) a concert at St Julien de Pauvre when I’m in Paris and have thoroughly enjoyed so many good ones. The acoustics are wonderful and the church charming. There is a fairly regular Vietnamese castrato who is fabulous and this month a Japanese piano player with a French tenor doing opera arias which was excellent.

We visited here a few times during our stay in paris, the first was for the chrissie markets which was bustling, after that, the gardens were a lovely place to have a picnic on a sunny day, just a stones throw from the Seine and the Latin Quarter. The Fontaine de Georges Jeanclos (see review) is the centre piece of the gardens.
