Montparnasse, Administrative quarter in 14th arrondissement, France
Montparnasse spans across three arrondissements of Paris, featuring a mix of modern buildings and traditional architecture at the intersection of Boulevard du Montparnasse and Rue de Rennes.
In the early 20th century, this district transformed from a student poetry recitation area into a central gathering place for international artists and writers.
The neighborhood maintains numerous historical cafes where intellectuals like Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso conducted regular meetings and discussions.
The district connects to central Paris through multiple metro lines and houses the Montparnasse train station, which provides direct access to western France.
The area received its name from Mount Parnassus in Greece when 17th-century students gathered there to recite verses and practice arts.
