Place Edmond-Rostand

On the corner of the Luxembourg Garden and Boulevard Saint-Michel, this square has borne the name of the author of Cyrano de Bergerac since 1927.

Its circular fountain and the view towards the Panthéon make it one of the most photographed entrances to the Luxembourg, with cafés popular among students.

Tip: a handy starting point for a Luxembourg - Panthéon - Sorbonne loop. A five-minute stop, long enough to photograph the dome.
