Le Marquis Eiffel is situated on the left bank of the Seine not far from Saint-Germain-des-Pres - which is accessible by foot. Paris’ Left Bank, particularly Saint-Germain-des-Pres and Saint-Michel, have long been the quarters of authors, publishers and antique dealers.
The Left Bank is known as the intellectual and artistic bank. Today this reputation is somewhat legitimately disputed by the Right Bank.
