Quartier Latin
{
The Latin Quarter of Paris (French: Quartier latin, IPA: [kaʁtje latɛ̃]) is an urban university campus in the 5th and the 6th arrondissements of Paris. It is situated on the left bank of the Seine, around the Sorbonne.
Known for its student life, lively atmosphere, and bistros, the Latin Quarter is one of the oldest parts of the universities of Paris. It continues to be the heart of the universities and Grandes écoles that succeeded the University of Paris, such as:
the Sorbonne University, with the Sorbonne, and the Jussieu campus;
the Panthéon-Sorbonne University, with the Panthéon Centre and its Law School, and which also has teaching programs within the Sorbonne;
the Paris Cité University, with the École de Médecine building and the Cordeliers campus;
the PSL University, with the École Normale Supérieure, the Collège de France, the École des Mines, the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie, or the ENSAD.
and the Panthéon-Assas University, with its Assas Law School within the Panthéon Centre.
But also of:
the lycée Henri-IV, the lycée Louis-le-Grand and the lycée Saint-Louis, known as les trois lycées de la montagne;
Sciences Po;
and the Schola Cantorum.
Other Grandes écoles such as the École polytechnique have relocated in recent times to more spacious settings, notably in Paris-Saclay.
The area gets its name from the Latin language, which was widely spoken in and around the University during the Middle Ages, after the twelfth century philosopher Pierre Abélard and his students took up residence there.
Additionally, the Latin Quarter has the honor of being the setting of Puccini's tragic opera, La Bohème.
