Top 10 Things to do in 6th Arr. - Luxembourg, Ile-de-France

July 30, 2021 Velvet Champine

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.

Seine River

This famous river flows from east to west through the heart of the city and divides Paris's Left Bank and Right Bank.

Reviewed By Matteomartinii28 - Paris, France

You can find moments on the bridges (des Arts for the romantic locks) or from the River itself on a Hop on Hop off boat - you can go from museum to museum (the Louvre to D'Orsay) and see the beautiful Eiffel Tower throughout...the best moments may be the cafes, street artists and crepe makers, but Paris charm resides in all of it! I love this city and its river!

Staying near the gardens and found them a little magical pocket. Well worth the stroll or flanneur through the gardens....joggers, and tennis players, pony rides for the kids, fabulous museums, sculptures, fabulous gardens of incredible beauty...and the light...the light only Paris can provide. Winter or summer...please visit these gardens...you will not be disappointed

Medici Fountain

This fountain in the Luxembourg Gardens is a popular destination for local students.

Reviewed By JnVSydney - Greater Sydney, Australia

One of our favourite spots in the park is the outstanding Fontaine Medici and its grotto, (sitting along the pond, in the lovely chairs provided), - a super spot for a traditional Paris picnic - a ham & cheese or ‘jambon et fromage’ baguette. The fountain is located to the side of the palace, surround by tall trees, not easy to see unless you know its there, which seems to keep the crowds down. There is so much to look at (don't forget to look at the back of the fountain as well), the fountain was crafted in the Italian Renaissance style of architecture, built in 1630. Definitely a must when visiting the gardens.

Fontaine des Quatre Parties du Monde

This late 19th-century fountain in the Observatory Garden depicts four women holding a globe of the world.

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

The "Four parts of the world" fountain which in some tour guides is also called the "Observatory fountain" because of its location at the entrance of the "Garden of the Great Explorers". This fountain is a very impressive statue and well worth visiting on your way to (or from) the Luxembourg Palace from the south gate of the “Jardin du Luxembourg”. The central part of the statue is a group of 4 women supporting the globe, which is decorated with signs of the zodiac, symbolizes the 4 parts of the world, Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The periphery of the fountain around the large basin contains horses, turtles and fish, all splashing water and fog that create an impressive memorable look.

Boulevard St. Germain

This historic street is most famous for its assortment of old cafés.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

Boulevard St. Germain is a great street. We walked along this beautiful stretch a number of times. It is a busy area, full of cafes, restaurants, many other shops, and people. It has a very long history, and it was the centrepiece of the new city design back in the 19th century. A must, to walk on.

Saint-Sulpice

Designers like Versace and Sonia Rykiel have their boutiques in this trendy Parisian neighborhood.

Reviewed By ayubq2013 - Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Saint Sulpice is a bit off the beaten tourist track, but it was virtually next door to our hotel. We crossed it several times on our way to the more popular attractions and one day we decided to venture in. We are glad we did. This Roman Catholic church used to be the second largest church in Paris, only slightly smaller than Notre Dame. After the Notre Dame fire earlier this year, it is effectively the largest church in Paris now. It is grand, with a plaza and fountain in front, and peaceful; we did not see too many tourists. The church is dedicated to Sulpitous the Pious. Construction is said to have begun in 1646 and continued in fits and starts, depending on availability of resources. Various features were added over a period of over a century. The baroque interior is beautiful. The church is famous for its organ music, housing two historical organs, the great organ and the choir organ. It has a tradition of talented organists dating back to the 18th century. Sunday organ programmes are still held regularly. We were not fortunate enough to hear the organ, but we witnessed a very elaborate tuning process of the organs.

Luxembourg Palace

This beautiful neo-classical building serves as a meeting place for the country's politicians, while its beautiful gardens are enjoyed by all.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

Luxembourg Palace was built in the first half of the 17th century as a royal residence. It has had some really interesting and intriguing history. Today it is the place where the Senate, part of the French Parliament meets. It is quite a luxurious building, and you would expect nothing less!
