Paris 5th district | Furnished apartment rentals
The 5th arrondissement is the oldest district of Paris. Built by the Romans during the antiquity, it extends over much of the Latin Quarter - an academic and intellectual district, also highly sought after by tourists. The boulevard Saint-Germain, boulevard Saint-Michel, and rue Saint-Jacques are quite popular and, for its many restaurants and pubs, the rue Mouffetard and rue Descartes are equally liked. The “Jardin des Plantes” opened to the public for nearly 400 years is a haven of beauty unique in France. Lovers of flowers will enjoy a voluptuous walk in the rose garden filled with 390 botanical species, while the alpine garden hosts more than 2000 mountain plant species. Between two avenues of plane trees, a breathtaking view of the great Evolution Gallery invites to visit the Natural History Museum. Further on, the Institute of the Arab World and the Museum of the Middle Ages are remarkable. Last but not least, the Paris Fifth District has a high density of arthouse cinemas with eighteen independent movie houses, such as the Pantheon cinema opened in 1907.
