Paul St is the centre of the funky ‘Huguenot Quarter’ of the City off Patrick St and is often the general name used to describe the network of tiny streets around here that are stuffed full of cafes, restaurants, book shops and art galleries. It is the place to be for students, artists, foodies and tourists alike, although this being Cork, anyone can be found on Paul Street soaking up the atmosphere. It has been refurbished and pedestrianised recently which has only enhanced its cool, laid back and cosmopolitan vibe. A small square attracts a youthful crowd and the place is always busy.
