Montparnasse, studios and gardens

1. Vavin crossroads

   Start around Boulevard du Montparnasse. Observe older artists’ addresses and choose a side street away from traffic.

2. Rue de la Gaîté

   Pass theatres and cafés. A break here can replace a longer detour to another eating area.

3. Montparnasse Cemetery

   Enter if the hours and visit conditions allow. Walk quietly, remembering that this is also a place of remembrance.

4. Luxembourg Garden

   Head towards the garden through 6th-district streets. Allow time for a pause beside the basin or on a quieter path.
