Saint-Germain des-Prés is a very lively district with many cafés, street markets and interesting sights. It was once the haunt of intellectuals and literary elites who gathered in cafés like Le Procope, Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore. This district in the 6th arrondissement takes its name from the Eglise Saint-Germain des-Prés, one of the oldest churches in Paris.
