Is Latin Quarter worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Latin Quarter earns the hours.

Allow 2–3 hrs.

Atmospheric, twisty streets, Shakespeare and Company, the Panthéon and student energy. The main tourist drag (Rue de la Huchette) is a touristy gauntlet of mediocre restaurants, but a block off it the quarter is genuinely lovely.
