On the Left Bank of Paris, the Quartier Mouffetard is famous for its charms of another era, some of it dating back to the Middle Ages. 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. We are very happy to have been offered another apartment in the same building as our popular property " Gracieuse ", also overlooking the delightful paved courtyard with plants, flowers and trees tended by the friendly gardien.
