As one of the most famous places in Paris, the area of Saint Germain des Prés has progressively become a symbol of the city itself in the eyes of many. As a true Parisian, born and raised in the city, I certainly did not expect to discover anything new about the classic Saint Germain des Prés quartier when I started to stroll around the area of Café de Flore. It did not take long for me to realise that I was going onboard something special. As I wandered around the neighbourhood, I was accompanied by the sensual and elegant voice of French actress Virgine Ledoyen. While I walked, she offered me the chance to seize the beauty and the mystery that inhabits Saint Germain des Prés, and to capture its extraordinary intellectual heritage, which has come to represent the very essence of France’s cultural exception. Far from all the clichés that usually surround this part of Paris, this warm afternoon of June will remain in my memory as the day when I finally discovered the intriguing and passionate essence of Parisian history and lifestyle: the myth that is Saint Germain des Prés.
