{{Arrondissements of Paris}}
The 14th arrondissement of Paris ({{Langx|fr|XIVe arrondissement}} {{IPA|fr|katɔʁzjɛm aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃|}}), officially named arrondissement de l'Observatoire ({{IPA|fr|aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃ də lɔpsɛʁvatwaʁ|IPA}}; meaning "arrondissement of the Observatory"; named after the Paris Observatory),Code général des collectivités territoriales R2512-1 is one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris, the capital city of France.
It is situated on the left bank of the River Seine, containing most of the Montparnasse district. Although today Montparnasse is best known for its skyscraper, Tour Montparnasse, as well as its major railway terminus, Gare Montparnasse, both are only partially located in the neighbouring 15th arrondissement. The district has traditionally been home to many artists as well as a significant Breton community, which arrived at the beginning of the 20th century upon the creation of the Montparnasse railway terminus.
Notable sites in the 14th arrondissement include the universities of Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris and the Paris School of Economics, which is located near Parc Montsouris, Stade Charléty and the Catacombs of Paris.{{Cite web |url= https://www.parisdigest.com/paris/paris-catacombs.htm|title= Paris Catacombs facts.
