The station is located under the Place Monge, in the 5th arrondissement, in the eastern part of the Latin Quarter. Although close to the animation of nearby restaurants and the lively street market of the Rue Mouffetard, the Place Monge is in general fairly calm, apart from its scheduled food market.
