15th arrondissement of Paris in the context of "Boulevard du Montparnasse"

Montparnasse (French: [mɔ̃paʁnas] ) is an area in the south of Paris, France, on the left bank of the river Seine, centred at the crossroads of the Boulevard du Montparnasse and the Rue de Rennes, between the Rue de Rennes and boulevard Raspail. It is split between the 6th, 14th, and 15th arrondissements of the city. Montparnasse has been part of Paris since 1669.

The Rue de Vaugirard (French pronunciation: [ʁy d(ə) voʒiʁaʁ]; English: Street of Vaugirard) is the longest street inside Paris's former city walls, at 4.3 km (2.7 mi). It spans the 6th and 15th arrondissements. The Senate, housed in the Palais du Luxembourg, is at 15 Rue de Vaugirard.

Gare Montparnasse (French pronunciation: [ɡaʁ mɔ̃paʁnas]; Montparnasse station), officially Paris Montparnasse and formerly Gare de l'Ouest , is one of the seven large Paris railway termini, and is located in the 14th and 15th arrondissements.

The station opened in 1840, was rebuilt in 1852 and relocated in 1969 to a new station just south of the original location, where subsequently the prominent Tour Montparnasse was constructed. It is a central element to the Montparnasse area. The original station is noted for the Montparnasse derailment, where a steam train crashed through the station in 1895, an event captured in widely known photographs and reproduced in full scale in several locations.

Porte de Versailles (French pronunciation: [pɔʁt də vɛʁsɑj]; lit. 'Gate of Versailles') is a station on Line 12 of the Paris Métro, a stop on tramway Line T3a, as well as the southern terminus of tramway Line T2 in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the Porte de Versailles, a gate in the 19th-century Thiers wall of Paris, which led to the city of Versailles.

The Val de Seine (French pronunciation: [val də sɛn]) is one of the most important business districts of the Paris agglomeration. Located southwest of the city, it spreads along a bend of the Seine, mainly in the municipalitiesof Boulogne-Billancourt and Issy-les-Moulineaux and in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.

The district, dominated by industry during most of the 20th century, has specialized since the 1980s in communication activities and today it is the most important business district of the Paris agglomeration in that field. The Val de Seine contains the headquarters of most major French TV networks, including TF1, France Télévisions, Arte, Canal+, TPS, Eurosport and France 24.

Pasteur (French pronunciation: [pastœʁ] ) is a station on Lines 6 and 12 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the French chemist Louis Pasteur. The platforms for both lines are situated underground, although Line 6 becomes elevated just after the northwest end of the station. Nearby are the Pasteur Institute (research facility) and the Lycée Buffon (school).
