On the Left Bank of Paris, the Quartier Mouffetard is famous for its charms of another era, some of it dating back to the Middle Ages. A maze of narrow cobbled streets, some wonderful old buildings, miriads of moderately priced restaurants, pavement cafés and most especially the bi-weekly market on the Place Monge, and the daily market at the south end of the rue Mouffetard. Take time out on a summer evening watching the world go by on the Place de la Contrescarpe, just a few minutes away.
The Boulevard St Michel, the Sorbonne, Panthéon, Musée de Cluny, Luxembourg Gardens, Jardin des Plantes, and Roman Arènes de Lutèce are but some of the interesting places to visit within easy walking distance. This is a really good location, being around 8 minutes by metro direct to the Marais and the Ile St Louis, and not much more time to get to the Louvre, Ile de la Cité, Notre Dame etc.
This apartment is in the same building as the Gracieuse property, and it overlooks the delightful paved courtyard with plants, flowers and trees. Take the elevator to the second floor to enter this bright, spacious approx. 495 sq. ft. apartment featuring polished parquet floors with rugs, some antiques, and tall windows which makes it very light and airy. All of the rooms overlook the courtyard and are thus protected from the street noise. The hall leads to a large, attractive living room with a sofa (120 cm sofabed) and dining furniture featuring a nice mix of antique and contemporary. Off of the living room is the bedroom with a double bed, double-glazed windows, and good cupboards. It has an en-suite bathroom with tub and shower attachment, washer and dryer, as well as a separate WC. There is also a well-equipped separate kitchen with dishwasher, standard and microwave ovens. Hot water and centrally supplied heating is included in the rent.
