Being a Parisian I choose this area for a purpose. I can really recommend “le quartier” where Margaux’s place is situated (Metro 8: Ledru-Rollin) due to all the attractive facilities that the area offers not only for shopping needs but also it offers a beautiful and attractive walk in to the traditional Parisian beauties. It leads you to the most attractive areas such as Saint paul and Le Marais, Notre Dame Cathedral, la Seine, Odéon, and from Saint Germain des Près to Le Louvres if you like. La Concorde and more, you will never be board chatting away appreciating everything around you without realising that you have walked back home to La Bastille and Ledru-Rollin.
