Reference point
This square remains the reference point, for hundreds of Parisians and tourists every day. It's an easy place to find, central, nice! The square is located right next to the river Seine, in front of the Palace of Justice and the bridge over to "l'Ile de la Cité", there is a metro stop called "Saint Michel-Notre Dame" on both sides of the square. On the divide between the Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement) and the 6th arrondissement. Its fame comes from both being a meeting spot and its fountain at the bottom of the square. This source is the "Fontaine de Saint Michel", built in 1855. Around are numerous fast food outlets (kebab, crepe, panini, sandwiches, etc.), kiosks, bars and a chain of bookstores! "Gibert Jeune", the most famous bookstore with a half dozen locals in Paris, are each dedicated to a different area (economics, law, languages, geography, etc..).
