Lonely Planet review

This lovely green space with a three-tiered fountain is flanked by beautiful rows of Second Empire homes. In the 19th century a neighborhood emerged here for well-to-do French families. Artists and poets gathered in the area back then, and creative types like filmmakers and fashion designers now occupy houses in the streets nearby. Students loll on the grass, taking in precious rays and street music; while others linger puffing on strange smokes.

Carré St-Louis feeds west into rue Prince-Arthur, a center of 1960s hippie culture that has refashioned itself as a popular restaurant-and-bar strip.
