The Sorbonne University doesn't need to be introduced anymore.
Founded during the 13th century, it is the oldest French university and has become the iconic image of the Latin Quarter.
This new photo of the prestigious establishment and Place de la Sorbonne was taken at dawn.
The paving stones were reflecting the light as it had been raining part of the night.
Both the square and the building are illuminated and it feels a bit odd to see the square so deserted as it is such a lively spot during the day.
As I was taken this shot I could see a waiter placing chairs and tables on the terrace of the Café, but it was still too early for a café crème!
