Latin was the language of the Church in the Middle Ages, and that made it the language of Education. Students were taught in Latin, and the University area on the Left Bank is still known as the Latin Quarter. Paris has ten universities, most of them based here South of the river, in the second-oldest part of Paris. The ‘Main Street’ of the Quartier Latin is the Boulevard Saint-Michel, known to all as Boul’Mich. It runs parallel to the Roman main street (Via Superiora) now called Rue Saint-Jacques.
