Quartier de la Monnaie, Administrative quarter in 6th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Quartier de la Monnaie stretches along the Seine River, containing a neoclassical palace and numerous governmental buildings within its defined boundaries.

The quarter gained its name from the Monnaie de Paris, established in 864 AD, which stands as the longest operating mint institution in the world.

The district maintains a collection of exhibitions and workshops dedicated to metalwork artistry, numismatic heritage, and traditional French craftsmanship.

The quarter houses administrative offices, cultural institutions, and the three-star restaurant of Guy Savoy, all accessible via the Saint-Germain-des-Prés metro station.

The Monnaie de Paris facility within the quarter continues to produce commemorative coins and medals while functioning as a museum of monetary history.
