This little corner of Paris was perfectly placed for me to explore the city for the first time. Situated around the corner from a metro line, it was the perfect jumping off point for me to reach any district in Paris, and close enough to Le Marais to walk and experience the nightlife there. And it's literally minutes from all the creature comforts one could ask for. While here, check out the Patisserie around the corner for fresh baked goods, La Parade on the corner for a late night drink, or Cadence one street over for a darn good meal (make sure to make a reservation).
