The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Sorbonne, Ile-de-France

December 20, 2021 Hana Mouser

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.

Pantheon

With the Pantheon, architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot met Louis XV’s wish to glorify the monarchy in the form of a church dedicated to Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris. The edifice was deconsecrated during the Revolution in 1791 and renamed the Pantheon. During the turbulent years of the 19th century, as regimes changed, it alternated in its role as a religious and patriotic monument. Since 1885, the year of Victor Hugo’s death and burial in the Pantheon, it has been the last resting place for the great writers, scientists, generals, churchmen and politicians who have made the history of France. The crypt houses the tombs of more than 70 illustrious figures including Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, Pierre and Marie Curie etc.Open:> 1st April to 30th September: from 10 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.> 1st October to 31st March: from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Last admission 45 minutes before closing time.

With Foucault's Pendulum in the centre of the soaring building and the tombs of such notables as Marie Curie, Voltaire and Victor Hugo in the crypts. Along with the history of this building and the history of modern France it is a must see

Left Bank (Rive Gauche)

The section of Paris south of the River Seine.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

The Left Bank of the Seine River is possibly the sentimental heart of Paris. In days gone by it was the part of Paris where you would find philosophers, poets, artists, teachers, writers, anybody who was somebody would be here. This sentiment has carried to the present day but how true it is now is another matter. On this side of the Seine you will find some of the most wonderful sights, like the Sorbonne University, the Pantheon, the Latin Quarter, the Musee d'Orsay, the Army Museum, the Rodin Museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Luxembourg Gardens and many others. There are some wide roads but there are many narrow streets as well and it is these that convey the old Paris. You must walk! You haven't been to Paris if you miss the Left Bank!

Eglise Saint-Severin

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.

Reviewed By PJV1426 - Cincinnati, United States

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.

Square Rene Viviani

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

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.

Statue de Mihai Eminescu

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

Located in the latin quarter stands this very modern looking bronze with famous Romanian Poet, in a lyrical pose, looking to the skies, his cloths look ragged and his feet are bare, the long branches either side of him reflect his connection to nature, through his work. All in all a very eye catching sculpture.
