Once known to be the hangout of King Louis XIII, Delacroix and Voltaire, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the cafés surrounding it highlight the art, culture and relaxed way of life that are intertwined with Parisian life. Besides the gardens, don’t miss the enclaves around Carrefour de l’Odéon, St-Sulpice cathedral, Théâtre de l’Odéon and the Sénat, and rue de Médicis.
