Want a very lively, vibrant neighborhood experience while in Paris? We did! And found it in a well-organized efficiency apartment overlooking Marianne, the female figure that is Place de Republique, at the top of the 3rd, and where 9 and 10 arr also come together. We were within a walk or metro to everything! Marie, our, host was excellent at follow-thru! A great stay! I hope we return! Merci, Marie!! Linda and Andrew
