Where to stay in Paris 05 Panthéon
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The Panthéon fixes the centre. Beds around it put the Musée de Cluny and the Sorbonne inside a few minutes and leave the Seine a short walk off, which is why this stretch of the Latin Quarter never goes quiet. Rooms run small.
You want the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle end instead if quiet mornings and the Arab World Institute matter more than a late table. The Church of Saint-Sulpice and the Beaux-Arts de Paris lie a short walk west, toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

About Paris 05 Panthéon
What are the main landmarks in Paris 05 Panthéon?
Everything starts with the Panthéon. The Musée de Cluny and the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle divide the collections between them, and the Arab World Institute stands for what the quarter added late. Paris crowds in around it.
The Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Eiffel Tower belong to other arrondissements, but none of them is far from a bed taken near the Sorbonne.
What is the history of Paris 05 Panthéon?
Gallo-Roman Paris began on this ground. Rare archaeological remains from that city survive inside the arrondissement, which is not true of much else in Paris, and the Musée de Cluny sits among them. Latin gave the quarter its name.
The Sorbonne, the first great Parisian university, was founded here, and the arrondissement itself took its present form in 1860.
Where is Paris 05 Panthéon?
Two and a half square kilometres on the Left Bank of the Seine, drawn around the Panthéon and the Latin Quarter.
