ProfileThe 5th arrondissement is considered
Paris' intellectual district. The Quartier Latin
(so called because of the language utilized at
La Sorbonne for teaching during the early years)
is teeming with students, faculty, tourists and, to a lesser
degree, immigrants.
AttractionsThe Panthéon is not only the resting place of
many Parisian intellectuals (Zola, Voltaire,
Rousseau among them) but also the present home of the
Foucault pendulum as well as the site of its first public demonstration.
