Mouffetard...

Take the rue Daubenton until you reach the place Saint-Médard. This charming little square is the point of departure for the rue Mouffetard. The market, shops, residents and cobblestones... « la Mouff' » as the local say, will leave a lasting impression. To savour the atmosphere here, find a spot on one of the terraces for a meal at the place de la Contrescarpe, and just watch the world go by. 
To walk off the evenings extravagance, a little window shopping is advised. The small boutiques show off the work of young designers, the record shops always have some new, and old, music to listen to and the shops stay open until 10 p.m.. For the road, you must try a flower-shaped ice cream cone from Gelati d'Alberto (45 rue Mouffetard). 

You can meet up with the locals at Piano Vache ! Just turn and walk all the way back up the rue Mouffetard until you reach the rue Laplace, and you'll find this famous bar where all the students go. Music offered nightly in an atmosphere covered with posters and photos of musical legends, so Rock n'Roll !
