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.
