Quartier Saint-Victor, Administrative quarter in 5th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Saint-Victor quarter extends across 60.4 hectares, bordered by the Seine River, Rue Lacépède, Rue Cuvier, and Rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève.
The area was named after the Abbey of Saint-Victor, established in the 13th century and demolished in 1811, which served as a major intellectual center.
The Institut du Monde Arabe and Maison de la Mutualité contribute to the district's cultural identity, alongside ancient structures like Arènes de Lutèce.
