La Rive Gauche, also known as Paris’ Left Bank, is considered the artistic part of the city, where many of the most famous artists and writers of the world lived and worked, as it was considered a poorer part of Paris. However, that is no longer the case as the Rive Gauche has evolved into a beautiful high-end hub of bohemian counterculture and classic Parisian artistic creativity. It is home to some of the world-famous attractions and monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, Paris Catacombs, Montparnasse Cemetery, Musée d'Orsay, and Luxembourg Gardens.

Explore the artistic side of Paris, France
The Rive Gauche area, once known as home to artists, intellectuals, writers and students, has today evolved into an affluent and high-end posh area, largely due to aggressive gentrification following the Second World War. Many of the Most famous tourist attractions are found here, but you can also find more local-oriented culture here if you wish to avoid the sterile generic tourist spots. From universities and research hubs to luxury fashion, there is a lot to take in when you explore the Rive Gauche.
