Around the church, a vestige of the mighty Benedictine Abbey, the mythical Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter comprises a district which is at the same time chic and intellectual, home to numerous writers and artists. Boulevard Saint-Germain, the three cafés (Café de Flore, Café des Deux Magots and Brasserie Lipp) owe their reputation to their customers: men of letters, artists and politicians. Between the Saint-Germain church and the Institut de France, the narrow streets bordered with 17th Century hotels, are home to antique dealers, cafés, luxury boutiques and publishing houses.
