Like many super-cities, Paris has several large neighbourhoods with distinct personalities. One of the most famous is the Latin Quarter, located on the left bank of the River Seine and covering the 5th and 6th arrondissements.

This area has many notable churches, including the Église Saint-Sulpice. This, the third largest church in the city, was almost completely rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries, with a classical façade inspired by St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
