LA PLACE MONGE
Place adjacent to Polytechnique, at the crossroads of the Jardin des Plantes, the Arènes de Lutèce, and Rue Mouffetard.
Place Monge owes its name to Gaspard Monge, the French mathematician who helped build the Ecole Normale Supérieure, as well as being the founder of the Ecole Polytechnique. This vast square is still next door to Polytechnique, only a few hundred meters apart. Square in shape, it lies at the crossroads of the Jardin des Plantes, the Lutèce arenas and rue Mouffetard. If you're lucky, you'll find yourself here on a market day, which is particularly prized for the quality of its produce.
