Montparnasse

Montparnasse became famous with Americans in the 1920s, as many fled prohibition and took advantage of the strong dollar.  Henry Miller and Ernest Hemingway are probably the best known examples. The district lost a bit of its antiquated charm when the famous Tower took up residence, but it is has by no means lost its popularity and has much to offer those who choose to stay in the area. Don't miss the catacombs, the cemetery, the crêpes, and the architecture on the rue Campagne-Première.
