From Notre-Dame to Saint-Michel: A Walk to Remember

Crossing the Seine River leads you to Place Saint-Michel, a square just a 5-minute walk from Notre-Dame Cathedral. This spot, often considered the heart of Paris, is always bustling with people, moving to the unique rhythm of Paris—neither rushed nor stagnant. At the center of the square stands the Saint-Michel Fountain (Fontaine Saint-Michel), famous for its sculpture of the winged angel Michael defeating evil. Its grandeur, combined with the soothing sound of flowing water, keeps the square lively and vibrant. Surrounding the square are bookstores, brunch cafes, and meeting spots for the young. Just across the street lies the Seine River and its riverside promenade. From here, you can see the spires of Notre-Dame and people relaxing by the riverbank—a snapshot of everyday Parisian life. Take a leisurely stroll from Notre-Dame to the riverside, and with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, it’s the perfect place to pause and unwind.
