A Saint Germain worth seeing

is the district (quartier) of Saint Germain de Pres, in the left bank of the Sena river (Rive Gauche). It starts at the Museum of Orsay with its magnificent impressionist paintings and go all the way to the Luxembourg Garden.
It is known by the very active nightlife, fashion design, coffee houses, bookstores, galleries and flea markets. The intellectual used to live there. Now it is open for tourists as well and fashion people.

The church is by far the most attractive building in the neighborhood. Open buildings are quiet nice too, like the old railway turned into museum, the Orsay. You can get tired of looking at buildings in these towns.
