It is known for its theatres, artistic atmosphere, caf\u00e9s, and boutiques.<\/p>\n It owes its name, a reference to the\u00a0Quartier Latin<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Paris<\/a>, to the presence of the\u00a0\u00c9cole Polytechnique de Montr\u00e9al<\/a>\u00a0and the nascent\u00a0Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/a>\u00a0in the 1920s. In the 1940s the university moved out and headed for a new campus on the north slopes of\u00a0Mount Royal<\/a>, far from the downtown borough. In the late 1960s\u00a0UQAM<\/a>\u00a0was born and established itself in the Ville-Marie borough, giving a modern underpinning to the name. A large junior college, the\u00a0CEGEP<\/a>\u00a0du Vieux-Montreal also moved in at about the same period.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Grande Biblioth\u00e8que du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>\u00a0was opened in the area in 2005, joining the\u00a0Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise<\/a>as a key cultural attraction.<\/p>\n
