14th District

The 14th arrondissement of Paris is Montparnasse with its train station and its nightlife, theaters and cinemas, its typical bars and restaurants where so many artists have left their mark. The district is the result of several villages such as Petit Montrouge, the village of Pernety, or the new village of Orleans with its shopping streets and adjacent quiet and flowery alleys, squares, and terraces, meeting places for residents and curious tourists. The iconic rue Daguerre is closed to traffic on Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Take the opportunity to sit down at one of the terraces or explore bakeries, florists, wine merchants, shops along its wide sidewalks. Students from all over the world are familiar with the Cité Universitaire Internationale, with its foreign pavilions, each of different architecture. Nearby, it is good to sit on the lawn of the English-landscaped Montsouris park, near its lake designed by Haussmann, in the shade of its hundred-year-old trees. At the crossroads of many public transport lines, the area is easy to get to and fro.
