Rue de Buci – Saint Germain

(Last Update: 05.09.2024) While Paris has so many beautiful boulevards, avenues and streets, one wonders which one to write about. Of course, some of these stand out a little more with some of their features. Some of them are centers of luxury shopping, some are the center of attention of young people, some are important from a touristic point of view, and some are the address of eating and drinking. Even though some of them are not very big, they have a different atmosphere that surrounds you with a completely different energy the moment you enter. We are on one of such streets in this article: Rue de Buci (dream exchange or breast fight)

Now, when I write like this, I don't want to put you in high expectations, but whenever I pass by here, I feel the energy in the environment; Otherwise, it is not such a big street. Sometimes it may even seem ordinary when you pass by, but when 6. boroughIf I go to Saint Germain, I have made it a habit to pass through this street.

Rue de Buci Boulevard Saint Germainin Mabillon  Odeon between, Seine River It is located on the side, on a rear parallel. most people Boulevard Saint Germainto the Les Deux Magots ve Flore's coffeeSince he focuses on , he may miss the streets behind, but you are on the right track since you are one of those who do not miss the beauties of Paris that are actually in plain sight and can be discovered when you get out of your routine a little.

One entrance to the street Mabillonfamous mussel restaurant in LeonRight across from . Here I am OdeonWhen I come to Istanbul by metro, my favorite passage is Cour du Commerce Saint AndréI like to reach it by passing through and turning left after exiting the back. If you cross the tiny intersection just two steps away, you are at the beginning of Rue de Buci.

As soon as you enter the street, there are other cafes, restaurants, patisseries, bookstores on the left and right. I especially love browsing through the second-hand books that the bookstore on the right puts in front of its window. And again on the right, Maison Thevenin There is a cute patisserie called , where you can find many different types of French desserts. Every time I go, I feel obliged to break my diet and buy a dessert from there; It's a dangerous area :)

Now choose one of the cafes and restaurants or just walk by; In good weather, watch people spilling out onto the streets, eating and drinking, and in cold weather, watch people sitting under heating systems and smoking cigarettes. People are crazy; Even when the weather is very cold, there is always someone sitting outside. In some periods, heaters may be turned off to save electricity. If you go and stay in the cold, don't take it from me 😉

There is a Paul just ahead, in the corner on the left; I went there once, you can sit there if it's not too crowded, but in the corner right across from it Market Bar There is a small brasserie full of life, which I love there very much. And on this street Café de ParisI'm not against it, but it's always in the background :)

Actually L'Atlas Restaurant It's not bad either, but I don't like their waiters very much, and I've been protesting against them ever since they bought the flower shop you see in the photo above and added it to the restaurant, spoiling the atmosphere of the street...

As you walk further down the street, the road curves to the left and begins to move away from the pedestrian atmosphere. There are nice places on your left, where you can sit, almost as if you were standing, have a drink in the middle of the street and watch people pass by. At the end of the road Boulevard Saint Germainin mabillion station and on the opposite side LeonYou will already see. After this point, if you wish, you can turn right and Saint Germain des Près You can walk to the side, or turn left if you wish. Odeon ve Saint michel You can continue to the side.

Or just across the road Leoncontinue next to Marché Saint GermainIt might be nice to visit . If you walk towards his left side Odéon Theater, even if you walk towards the right side Saint Sulpice ChurchYou will reach . If you continue straight and go to the back French SenateYou will see . Already Luxembourg GardenYou will come to the bottom of . Paris is such a place; Once you step out onto the street, you lose yourself as you walk from place to place and get lost in the beauties of Paris.

The easiest way to get to Rue de Buci by public transport M4 or M10 metro coming to Odéon using one of the lines, and then as I mentioned at the beginning of the article Cour du Commerce Saint AndréPass through and turn left at the exit. So whatever you do Boulevard Saint GermainOn the day you visit, I suggest you do not miss this small back street where life flows with all its liveliness.

Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
