Local Info:

One bedroom apartment for rent in Paris. Superb central location.


This part of the Left Bank (St Germain des Pres) is one of the most famous in Paris. Bookstores, cafes, small theatres and jazz clubs fill this historical area between the Seine and the elegant Boulevard St Germain. Literary cafes such as Cafe Flore and Les Deux Magots, home of intellectuals in the post war years, are still popular and the Shakespeare bookshop (open till midnight) opposite Notre Dame is staffed by visiting students who can stay in one of the tiny upstairs rooms. There is a bustling nightlife in clubs and pubs (the inevitable Irish pub). Small shops in Rue St Andre des Arts stay open late. The area is a shoppers' paradise.

Within walking distance are many museums and galleries. Musee d'Orsay, converted from a railway station, is a walk along the river. Saint Chapelle and Theatre du Chatelet just over the bridge (Pont St Michel) host many concerts. Musee de Cluny, nearby, houses a fine collection of medieval art . You can walk to the Louvre and Notre Dame. The 13th century church of St Severin is few minutes walk from the apartment.
