A fabulous appartement, in an atypical way in an untypical neighborhood. Le Croix Rouge is working class and proud of it - of the long history of resistance and solidarity of the canuts (silk workers) whose area it is. Be prepared for some serious hills to climb, lots of graffiti, and many murals.
There’s an elevator; it’s a top-floor appartement with massive wooden ceiling beams, stone floors, a comfortable bed in a dark alcove, and even a bathtub (rare in France).
