Episode description

In this edition of French Connections, Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot take you to the oldest district in Paris: the fifth arrondissement. First built by the Romans as part of the ancient city of Lutetia, the 5th is also a very young area, filled with students from several top universities and some of the best prep schools in France. The area is a window into Arab culture as well. It's home to both France's biggest mosque and the incredible Arab World Institute. Join us for a tour of the Latin Quarter and beyond.
