Is Latin Quarter worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Latin Quarter works.

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.
