Have you chosen the lively Montparnasse district for your stroll today? You've done the right thing! An emblematic district in the south of Paris, Montparnasse is known for having been a gathering place for artists and intellectuals in the 19th century, before undergoing a major transformation over the course of the 20th century, transforming itself into a dynamic, modern district.
The Montparnasse Tower is undoubtedly the best-known (and most visible!) landmark in the area, with its breathtaking view over the whole city. But the Montparnasse cemetery, where the likes of Samuel Beckett and Jean-Paul Sartre are buried, is also well worth a visit.
For art lovers, Montparnasse is also the place to discover the latest plays and films at the many theaters and cinemas in the area. And for food lovers, this corner of the 14th arrondissement also boasts many fine restaurants, from French bouillons and historic brasseries to world cuisine.
To help you find your way around, we've put together a list of the best restaurants in the Montparnasse district!
