  5th arrondissement travel guide - Wikitravel
The 5th Arrondissement [1] of Paris is one of the best known of the city's central districts, located on the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) of the river Seine.
A lot of travellers arriving in the 5th from across the river are lured into the restaurants and fast-food outlets between rue St Jacques and boulevard St Michel (in Rue de la Huchette, rue Saint-Séverin).
Named for the arrondissement, or maybe a measure of whiskey, this little hole-in-the-wall caters to a mixed anglophone expatriate crowd, with a mix of local students and (in tourist season) backpackers.

  Paris by Arrondissement
The 3rd Arrondissement is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Paris and shares the Marais area with the 4th arrondissement.
Arrondissement is the heart of the Marais, which used to be principally the Jewish quarter but now it is a hybrid neighbourhood, a lively atmosphere with great bars and restaurants.
Arrondissement used to be a rather faded area with the Gare du Nord and Gare de L’est, but with the onslaught of the Eurostar it’s been revamped and has great style all with retaining a very Parisian charm- the beautiful Canal St Martin is one of my favourite Paris walks.

Vieux Lyon is in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon, which borders the Saône on the east and the 9th arrondissement to the north.
The 5th is quite a large arrondissement and much of the eastern and southern portion would not be of great interest to someone on a short visit.
Most of Vieux Lyon is in the eastern quarter of the 5th: St Jean Cathedral, the Gallo-Roman Museum, Fourviere Basilica, the narrow old streets to wander, etc. The western 3/4 of the 5th became more modern and less interesting to me as I walked that way.
