On the Left
Bank of Paris, the Quartier Mouffetard is renowned for its officially
recognised and protected charms of another ear. A maze of narrow cobbled streets, some
wonderful old buildings, miriads of moderately priced restaurants, pavement cafés and
most especially the bi-weekly market on the Place Monge, and the daily market at the south
end of the rue Mouffetard.
Take time out on a summer evening
watching the world go by on the Place de la Contrescarpe just a few minutes away.The Boulevard St
Michel, the Sorbonne, Panthéon, Musée de Cluny, Luxembourg Gardens, Jardin des Plantes,
Roman Arènes de Lutèce are but some of the interesting place to visit within easy
walking distance. A really good location - around 8 mins.
By metro direct to the Marais, the
Ile St Louis, not much more to the Louvre, Ile de la Cité, Notre Dame etc. A delightful
paved courtyard with plants, flowers and trees tended by the friendly gardien and a
pleasing well kept recent building sensitively reproducing the traditional style.
From the trim
entrance take the elevator to this neat and attractive second floor apartment (40m2),
