Left Bank and the Right
Seine in Paris is packed solid with tourists: too many boats jam the river. But the banks on either side are less so. More of them are locals. During day times they’re pretty empty, in fact.
La Rive Gauche, Left Bank consists 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 & 15 arrondissements, is the southern side of the river.

Montparnasse (14 e) and Latin Quarter (5 & 6 e) are popular with arts, students and artists.
