Facing the Luxembourg gardens, within easy walking distance of ICP and the banks of the Seine , the Foyer International offers the ideal location for students in Paris . The Latin Quarter , long the center of student life in Paris , is also a popular tourist area with its sidewalk cafes and numerous shops.
