5th arrondissement of Paris

The fifth district extends from the Seine River to the south, containing medieval streets, educational institutions, and botanical gardens across four distinct neighborhoods.

The district originated as the center of Roman Lutetia in the first century BCE, with the main road corresponding to present-day rue Saint-Jacques.

The neighborhood maintains its role as an educational center with multiple universities, research facilities, and libraries concentrated within its boundaries.

Multiple metro stations serve the area, while numerous bus lines connect visitors to major landmarks and surrounding districts throughout Paris.

The Pantheon stands at the highest point of the district, housing the remains of notable French figures beneath its 83-meter-high dome.
