The Montorgueil street is known for its lively and colorful open-air market.
A stone's throw from the Louvre and the Seine, you cannot beat the central location of this Paris apartment rental. The neighbouring pedestrian Quartier Montorgueil embodies the essence of authentic Parisian life and has been called the 'new urban village' of Paris. One of the capital's most colorful market streets, it is home to some of its best restaurants, cafes and food shops.(Indeed, Queen Elizabeth was paraded here on her visit to Paris in 2004 to celebrate the centenary of the 'Entente Cordial'. Apparently, she loved the cakes from the famed Stohrer bakery, where you may find yourself on many a morning.)
The adjacent Place des Victories, designed by Place Vendome's Hardouin Mansart, forms an intimate circle around a statue of Louis XIV and today is dedicated to the designer names of fashion.
This apartment is also walking distance from the renowned Centre Cultural Georges Pompidou, or Beaubourg, which contains Paris' Museum of Modern Art. Another asset of this location is the closeness of Paris' most important monuments and tourist points of interest such as the Louvre Museum, and the majestic Tuileries gardens.
Only a stone's throw away are the Seine river and its delightful islands, the Ile de la Cite, home of Notre Dame Cathedral, and Ile Saint Louis, where a 'petit café' can be enjoyed at leisure.
