Under the shadow of its old tower, the Saint Germain des Près square keeps its charm and its spirit.
The square has been renewed in 1864 in occasion of the opening of the boulevard Saint Germain and the rue de Rennes on the churchyard and a muddle of little streets.
The famous “café des deux Magots” owns its name to a shop of curiosities that disappeared in the end of the last century.



The terrace of this café has witnessed the speeches of famous poets and literary men like Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
