Place St Michel is located in the Latin quarter in Normandy. It is considered the most visited tourist attraction in Paris. This remarkable landmark stands all by itself in the area that is known as Mont Saint Michel bay. It is located on the left bank of the river seine and faces toward Île de la Cité and is formed by 4 streets. The grand fountain, that has several statues, is one of Paris's most well known places to meet up with friends and family.

Not only is place st Michel a good meeting place, but it also has a metro station, and an RER station so it is easy to find and reach. Place St Michael is close to a river and has several streets that hold many different shops with food and antiques. You can find almost anything you are looking for throughout the four streets.

Fontaine Saint Michel, meaning St Michel Fountain, was built and constructed by Gabriel Davioud between the years of 1855 to 1860. It took him 5 years to build this beautiful sight.

The statue at the front is a statue of Saint Michael, the Archangel. On both sides are two dragons that shoot water over Saint Michael.

Place St Michel is a beautiful landmark and meeting place for everyone to enjoy. There are many wonderful statues as well as shops and restaurants. I hope we get to visit this landmark so I could see the breathtaking sights and try things that I usually wouldn't try. I also hope to meet new people while walking down the streets.
