Take a stroll through the Latin Quarter to experience much of the city's Medieval Parisian gothic architecture. Located in the 5th arrondissement, at the heart of the Left Bank, the Quarter has an academic and lively atmosphere as it is home to a couple universities and a great deal of history. Latin was primarily spoken in this area in the Middle Ages and it was the center of education, hence the name of Le Quartier Latin.
