Sunday Evening in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

A pleasant Sunday Evening at the end of summer in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood of Paris, France. Saint-Germain-des-Prés is an area at the west end of the Latin Quarter that is famous for its literary life, with its many cafés and restaurants, some of which are famous and once were hangouts for many well known writers. The area also was a center for publishing houses, although most of those have moved to lower-cost headquarters in the suburbs now. Today the area is filled with tourists and Parisians and continues to be a favorite spot for meeting friends, dining, drinking and talking on open sidewalk terraces, and so on. The area is named after the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which is one of the oldest in Paris, with some remaining parts dating back as far as the 7th century AD.

There are also many art galleries in the area that are open on Sundays.

This video shows the area around the church and the boulevard Saint-Germain, the rue de Seine, rue de Buci, Odéon area, Cour du Commerce Saint-André, etc.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés is normally hyphenated but I skipped the hyphens in the video because they are so unwieldy.

This video also shows the tiniest park in Paris, the Rue Visconti Garden, at 02:26.
