The banks of the Seine are a few meters away. Just cross the Austerlitz bridge and you will find yourself at the Bastille. How can you resist beginning or ending your day without going for a jog or a walk in the Jardin des Plantes botanic garden, the descendant of the royal garden of medicinal plants created under Louis XIII and open to the public since 1640? The natural history museum and its impressive 'gallery of evolution' is a must-see of left bank Paris. If you like to walk, follow the banks of the Seine up to the Ile de la Cité and there you will discover the historic center of Paris and the Notre Dame cathedral. Just across from the Saint Michel district: you'll find it filled with life, moving at all times of day, and there you will discover a great variety of cuisines from across the world. Discover the Arab-Islamic civilization by visiting the Institut de Monde Arabe (Arab World Institute) on the banks of the Seine and continue your voyage by going to Paris' Great Mosque and take a relaxing visit in the hammam (more information on the official website) or simply by enjoying a local pastry and drinking mint tea.
