The rue Vieille de Temple apartment enjoys a particularly fine and central location, in Paris’s historic Marais district.
You’ll walk along the narrow Marais streets, lined with cafés, restaurants and irresistibly appealing boutiques. And within easy walking distance of most of Paris’ sights and monuments, you need never take the metro!
Contrasting with this historic architecture, the wide range of local boutiques are up-to-the-minute modern, offering everything from the very latest fashion trends to avantgarde furniture and innovative designer objects and souvenirs. The area also benefits from several art galleries, plus the Picasso museum. Much like their shops and galleries, the locals are generally trendy, arty, cosmopolitan individuals.
The area also scores highly in terms of restaurants, with many quality establishments at different price levels, serving either tasty national specialities or all manner of world cuisine. Local boulangeries are some of Paris’ best and many small epiceries offer plenty of tempting traditional food products to prepare at home.
