Arrondissement 6

District 6 was one of the highlights of Paris.  43,143 people are residing in this lovely place.  79.6% of them are born in metropolitan France and 8.7% are non-European immigrants.  If you were looking for a two star hotel to stay in this district you might consider the Hotel Cluny Sorbonne for €99 per night in a double room.  District 6 is home to the “Latin Quarter” which is where younger people tend to hang out, which makes sense because the University of Sorbonne lies within the boundaries, so there are plenty of shops and grocery stores to get all of your basic necessities.

Tourist Attraction:

Jardin du Luxembourg or the Luxembourg Gardens are a frequented part of Paris and for good reason.  Although it may not compare to Versailles in size it most definitely compares in beauty.  These gardens are one of the reasons that I love France.  It rests just outside of the Museum National O Histore Naturelle but it’s a free place to read a book or take an afternoon stroll.  There are beautiful statues and ponds to sit by and plenty of shade so take a day off and enjoy!

Amazing Architectural Attraction:

If you know something about Paris then I’m sure you’ve heard of the Pantheon and know that it should be on your list of things to see if you’ve got the time.  Originally built as a church, it is now more of a mausoleum.  Some of the most beautiful and interesting things in France seem to be in honor of the dead so check it out!

Today’s Business Shout Out!

If you are a music junky like me or you simply like good sounding speakers then you will appreciate that Bose is today’s business shout out.  So you may be able to find Bose in the US but if you happened to need a store whilst you are in Paris then you could find one here in the 6^th district!

The Most Interesting Thing I Found:

A statue of a naked Asian man can be found just at the front of the Pantheon.  It seemed to be an unexpected tourist attraction because despite commonly finding naked statues throughout France, people seemed to find this one particularly appealing to take photos with, maybe because he is rather tall and bronze.
