Photos of Latin Quarter

There are two theories about the origin of the Latin Quarter. One is that the Romans built a new city here after they occupied Paris. Because the Romans speak Latin, it is called the "Latin Quarter"; the other is more popular: Medieval France inherited Latin culture, and all academic exchanges use Latin. There are many colleges here, as the academic center of Paris, so it is called the "Latin Quarter". Located in the fifth and sixth arrondissements of Paris today, the Latin Quarter was once favored by students because of its cheap prices and land prices. Various colleges and universities gathered here. With the Sorbonne as the center, this area became a place for students and various higher education institutions. There are many bookstores, shops and restaurants where colleges and universities gather, and many literati and writers enjoy Zuoan coffee leisurely here. Now it has become the most expensive area in Paris, and it is also a gathering place of luxury and fashion, and there are many well-known dessert shops here.
