The Luxembourg Garden constitutes a real haven of peace in the heart of the capital city.
The Montparnasse area is the birthplace of Art Deco and a land of welcome for artists and political refugees. Dance halls and cabarets have blossomed in the area since the French Revolution, but Montparnasse really became famous at the beginning the XXth century during the Roaring Twenties as a key centre of Paris intellectual and artistic life.
Cafes loaded with history such as the Rotonde, the Sélect, the Dome, the Coupole and the Closerie des Lilas.
The unusual visit of the catacombs, former stone quarries filled in with bones in 1785 because the Parisian cemeteries had become overcrowded and insalubrious.
Ascend the Montparnasse Tower where the fastest lift in Europe will take you to the 56th floor in just 40 seconds!
