Saint-Germain-des-Prés Committee
The Comité Saint-Germain-des-Prés is an association which brings together both shopkeepers and local residents and aims to safeguard the cultural traditions that have made Saint-Germain-des-Prés so prestigious.
Over the years, it has organised a number of events:
- Christmas lights and Christmas markets
- Contemporary art trail
- Jazz Festival
- Charities
- Literary events
...and is working to raise the profile of the district both nationally and internationally through partnerships with Soho - district of New York in March 2000 and most recently with Huai Hai Lu - district of Shanghai.
From March 2010 to March 2023, Miroslav Siljegovic (Café de Flore) was named Chairman of the Saint Germain-des-Prés Committee where he took over from Jacques Mathivat (Café les Deux Magots), founder of the association.
Jean Lassaussois (Les Montres) is the current Chairman.
