The apartment in the Square des Peupliers is situated in a beautiful cobbled enclave. It is only about ten minutes’ walk from Place d’Italie and the beginning of Metro line 5, which is a great means of transport! On the corner of the “Square” is a fabulous vegan/ vegetarian restaurant. The service and the food are excellent. On the next corner towards Place d’Italie is a fantastic Boulanger! We visited Musée Picasso, Canal St Martin and Centre Pompidou- all easily reached from the apartment. Inside we had a comfortable bed, a lovely shower room and facilities for tea/coffee making, a fridge and a small hob. Although we were in a semi-basement, we could open the shutters and windows and see the beautiful climbing plants around the entrance. The perfume from he honeysuckle was gorgeous!
