Saint Germain des Près
It's Thursday and we are slowly getting over our jet lag! We've had two great days and are enjoying apartment #1 on rue du Cherche-midi in the 6th arrondissement. In fact, it's just a few doors down from Andrew's internship at Poilâne! The 6th arrondissement, also known as Saint Germain-des-Près, is a culturally and intellectually stimulating quartier. It's the home of many publishers and editors (no doubt due to its proximity to the neighboring Latin Quarter), as well as numerous galleries and the Musée d'Orsay. It's also known for its famous cafés - Les Deux Magots, La Brasserie Lipp, Le Café de Flore - that attracted the literary elite: Sartre, de Beauvoir, and expats Hemingway and Fitzgerald to name just a few. Needless to say, we are taking advantage of all that this wonderful quartier has to offer.
