The 5th arrondissement of Paris is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of Paris (France). It covers most of the Latin Quarter, built by the Romans in Antiquity. It is located on the left bank of the Seine. It is bordered to the north by the Seine and the 4th arrondissement, to the west by the 6th arrondissement, and to the south by the 14th and 13th arrondissements.
