Rebellious Sorbonne
The neighboring Quarter Latin is devoted to education and it was here in 1968 in the narrow streets around the Sorbonne that the spirit of resistance led to the Students Revolt. The Rive Gauche or Left Bank is synonymous with a philosophy and the same is true of neighboring Montparnasse with its exclusive streets and the legendary Brasserie La Coupole.
But in spite of the colorful life on the Rive Gauche half-way through this story one is dropped off on the right bank where the Louvre towers as a symbol of royal power. The palace, that became a museum following the Revolution, today houses some 400,000 art treasures such as La Joconde, better known as the Mona Lisa. The gardens of the Tuileries run from the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde. This was known as the Place de la Revolution in the months following the storming of the Bastille and was the site for the guillotine with which the executioner (Monsieur de Paris) beheaded more than one thousand of the aristocracy, including Marie Antoinette. A straight axis leads from here along the Champs-Elysees with its expensive stores and offices to Napoleon's triumphant Arc de Triomphe, built to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Austerlitz.
