{again, homework assignment! sorry!}
I could live in Shakespeare and Company. There are books piled in every corner, quirky chandeliers, photographs of Hemingway and Fitzgerald scattered about, squashy armchairs, a piano with sheet music to play, and all of this with an amazing attic-view of the Seine.
My other favorite go-to place in the Latin Quarter is a vegetarian falafel stand. The Sorbonne is nearby, and you can always count on seeing other university students waiting in line.
I
like to roam the cobblestone streets, imagining all of the bright minds
who have meandered similar paths. The reason it's called the Latin
Quarter is because back in the day, (1253 A.D. ahh!) the students at the
Sorbonne only spoke in Latin. The area might be a bit of a tourist
trap, but I always love hearing the accordionists playing Edith Piaf on
the streets, especially at night. I sit on the banks of the Seine and
watch the lit up ships pass by. Somehow, Paris never feels quite so much
like Paris than with the Seine glistening beneath.
