Paris' Most Elegant Neighborhood (Saint-Germain-des-Prés)

The 6th arrondissement is the neighborhood most people picture when they imagine Paris — the cafés, the bookshops, the tree-lined streets — and yet almost everyone visits it wrong. In this video, we give you the exact one-day walk we'd take ourselves: ten stops, from the Seine all the way up to the most beautiful garden in Paris, with where to stay, where to eat, where to shop — and the famous spots we'd honestly tell you to skip. 🇫🇷 WALK THIS EXACT ROUTE WITH US Rather than screenshotting this whole video, get this exact 10-stop Saint-Germain walk in your pocket! Turn-by-turn directions between every stop, all the addresses, opening hours, and our step-by-step notes — it's basically us walking next to you. 👉 GET THE SAINT-GERMAIN WALKING TOUR: https://lesfrenchies.link/saint-germain 📱 📱 Les Frenchies App is Launching in October - JOIN THE WAITLIST: https://rebrand.ly/5gfipgd In this video, we start on the Pont des Arts (and tell you the real story of why the love locks are gone), browse the antiques and gallery streets, and shop rue Bonaparte — including a live taste test at Richart, home of the best macarons in the neighborhood. We step inside the oldest church in Paris with its stunning painted interior, then have an honest conversation about Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore: are they still worth it, or has the moment passed? (We'll tell you exactly where to go instead.) 💶 SHOPPING Richart: https://rebrand.ly/w0nr3kk Blue Lemon - Use code Frenchies for 10% OFF: https://rebrand.ly/21k0yjz Nadine Délepine: https://rebrand.ly/2tvx59t Maison Brémond 1830: https://rebrand.ly/lrq4wjc Marché Saint-Germain: https://rebrand.ly/y4e6ycj Marin Montagut: https://rebrand.ly/o6jfvp1 Grim'Art: https://rebrand.ly/0otxmft Compagnie Française des Poivres et des Épices: https://rebrand.ly/d5esau3 La Grande Epicerie: https://rebrand.ly/1hx24e7 🍽️ RESTAURANTS Colvert: https://rebrand.ly/9hl82wm La Jacobine: https://rebrand.ly/j5tl8dq La Grande Crèmerie: https://rebrand.ly/gq0wq8i Brasserie Vagenende: https://rebrand.ly/pousatb 🏛️ SIGHTSEEING Musée Delacroix: https://rebrand.ly/rs8iowr Église Saint-Sulpice: https://rebrand.ly/kgc7ppl Jardin du Luxembourg: https://rebrand.ly/5xgqdsv Médici Fountain: https://rebrand.ly/u6j0k4w 🏨 HOTELS IN THE 6TH ARRONDISSEMENT Hotel Odeon Saint Germain - Use code FRENCHIEs for Free Breakfast: https://rebrand.ly/v75bjlj Pavillon du Faubourg Saint-Germain - Use code FRENCHIEs for Free Breakfast and 5% DISCOUNT : https://rebrand.ly/tt6qb9y ==== OTHER WAYS TO CONNECT WITH LES FRENCHIES ==== https://lesfrenchiestravel.com/ Instagram: lesfrenchiestravel JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP Facebook: Les-Frenchies-Travel-101008388957696l For Business Inquiries: [email protected] As you can imagine, we're on the go most of the time.
