{{Arrondissements of Paris}}

The 5th arrondissement of Paris (Ve arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris, the capital city of France. In spoken French, this arrondissement is referred to as le cinquième.

The arrondissement, also known as Panthéon, is situated on the Rive Gauche of the River Seine. It is one of the capital's central arrondissements. The arrondissement is notable for being the location of the Latin Quarter, a district dominated by universities, colleges, and prestigious high schools since the 12th century when the University of Paris was created.{{Cite web |url= https://www.parisdigest.com/map_paris/map_of_paris_arrondissements.htm|title= Map of Paris arrondissements | year=2018 |publisher=Paris Digest |access-date=2018-11-21}} It is also home to the National Museum of Natural History and Jardin des plantes in its eastern part.

The 5th arrondissement is also one of the oldest districts of the city, dating back to ancient times. Traces of the area's past survive in such sites as the Arènes de Lutèce, a Roman amphitheatre, as well as the Thermes de Cluny, a Roman thermae.
