Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Is Saint-Germain-des-Prés worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Saint-Germain-des-Prés earns the hours.

Allow 2–3 hrs.

The Paris of Sartre and Hemingway: sit at Café de Flore or Les Deux Magots, browse the art galleries and antique shops, and watch the most stylish foot traffic in the city. It's polished and pricey — a stroll-and-watch quarter more than a sights one.
