Boulevard Saint-Germain

If there is any street that embodies Paris, this is it. I highly recommend making a point to get to Saint-Germain, say, in the early evening for the sole purpose of taking a stroll down it. It is teeming with life with people pouring in and out of cafés constantly. My parents and I would take a walk down Saint-Germain almost every night, as it was on the way to our hotel. One night, we saw Jacques Chirac, former president of France, leave a café and get into a Citroen car.
