The 5th arrondissement of Paris
The four administrative districts of the 5th arrondissement are Saint-Victor, Jardin-des-Plantes, Val-de-Grâce and Sorbonne. Bounded to the west by the boulevard Saint-Michel and to the east by the Jardin des Plantes, it has a long and rich history. Roman Gaul left its baths and the Arènes de Lutèce (discovered at the end of the 19th century), the Middle Ages the church of Saint-Séverin and the Hôtel des abbés de Cluny.

The feel of the district
The historic heart of the Latin Quarter, the 5th lives to the rhythm of its universities and bookshops. From the Panthéon to the Arènes de Lutèce, from the rue Mouffetard to the Jardin des Plantes, the arrondissement strings together village squares and monumental vistas.
Demand is constant: families attached to the area’s schools, academics, buyers looking for a quiet pied-à-terre behind the rue Saint-Jacques. Haussmann buildings on the boulevard Saint-Michel stand alongside much older buildings, with often unusual layouts, around the Contrescarpe.
