The Latin Quarter of Paris (Quartier latin) is an area in the 5th arrondissement and parts of the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France, on the left bank (south side) of the Seine, around the Sorbonne University.
The name derives from the Latin language, which was widely spoken in the Middle Ages in and near the University.
It houses higher education establishments, such as the École Normale Supérieure, the École des Mines de Paris (a ParisTech institute) and the Jussieu university campus. Other establishments such as the École Polytechnique (also a ParisTech engineering school) have relocated to more spacious settings.
It is known for its lively atmosphere and bistros.
