This is a perfect urban "pied a terre" to discover Paris! The district beats to the distinctive pulse of Paris with trendy and specialized boutiques, cafés and terrasses at every corner. Use the Metro as it is convenient, inexpensive and we found it to be safe. This being said, we don't recommend you take it from the airport as the station there is chaotic, overcrowded and confusing. (Not worth the stress). Also, take Remy's handy local map with you when you venture out as one can quickly get lost on the little streets of Paris, especially at crossroads where 3-4 arteries merge. Bring your ear plugs wih you if you need to sleep off the jetlag at mid-day. Bon sejour and thank you again Remy! We hope to be back.
