Frommer's Review
This incongruous neighborhood is just a few blocks in diameter and was built between the 1920s and 1930s on the old gardens of the Monastery of San Francisco. The neighborhood oozes charm: It looks as if a chunk of Paris's Latin Quarter was airlifted and dropped down in the middle of downtown Santiago, mainly because the cobblestone streets of this neighborhood end at tacky '70s-style gallerias and other mismatched buildings around the neighborhood's outskirts. It's worthy of exploration any time during the day.
