The apartment is in a terrific neighborhood just steps away from the beautiful gardens of Jardin des Plantes. Right out the front door you'll find plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops. A small grocery store was next door to meet our needs and a bakery was across the street for a quick croissant on our way out for sight seeing everyday. A metro stop was a short walk down the street and we were able to easily get to all of our sight seeing locations from the stop. Additionally, we traveled from the apartment to the Charles de Gaulle airport with our carry-on size rolling luggage within less than one hour. All this and the apartment and it's charming courtyard entry is brimming with Parisian style and art. Loved it.
