The Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest streets of Paris – Hotel Saint-Germain
Located in the 5th district of Paris, the Rue Mouffetard is one of the oldest streets of the city. From the Gallo-Roman times, it was the « Italian road » leading to Rome. Throughout history, it was very crowded. With the development of the Latin Quarter and the Sorbonne, students began to occupy the place and moved into the small pensions.
Very lively both day and night, it is pleasant to stroll in the Rue Mouffetard. Many restaurants, boutiques and small shops follow one after the other. It never ceased to cultivate a lifestyle that attracted some popular writers including Hemingway.
It starts at the nice Place de la Contrescarpe, slopes gently down from the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève -which is a hill in the center of the city, on the left bank of the Seine at the heart of the Latin Quarter- to the Church of Saint-Médard, where a daily market of fruits and vegetables, and food shops such as bakers, butchers, cheese makers, fishmongers… all offer a wide range of fresh produce.
When you will stand before the Church of St. Medard, remember to watch the picturesque decorated facade of a building listed historical monument.

Exquisite exhibition of illuminations at the Louvre Museum – Hotel de Saint-Germain Paris
Until October 10th 2011, an exquisite exhibition of little known illuminations is displayed by the Louvre Museum. You will discover true masterpieces originating from manuscripts dating from the 11th to 16th Centuries.
Exquisite exhibition of Illuminations at the Louvre Museum, until October 10
Over several centuries, manuscripts were illustrated with decorative patterns, figurative scenes and dropped capital letters brought to life with bold colours. Delicately painted by the illuminators on the parchments or treated animal skins in preparation for the writing, these images were occasionally embellished with gold or silver.
Becoming highly collectable from the 17th Century, they began to be appreciated for their artistic value. As a result many works were pulled apart and these illuminations were turned into small pictures. The Louvre Museum has built up a little known collection by gathering these magnificent pages over the years.
You will discover a beautiful selection from this collection until October 10, 2011. Seventy Italian, French, Dutch and German illuminations originating from historical, literary or liturgical manuscripts dating from the 11th to 16th Centuries are presented as true masterpieces.
