How to describe our area except by saying it's the very best? It has excellent transportation, tons of shopping, gourmets boutiques, cafés, restaurants, baker's, butcher's, cheese and wine chops, supermarkets, parks, museums, monuments, beautiful residential safe streets...
Our apartment is located on rue Saint Placide and the nearest metro stations are Saint Placide (line 4) and Sèvres-Babylone (lines 10 and 12). The famous Bon Marché and its Grande Epicerie de Paris are down the street and there are all sorts of convenience stores within one or two blocks. We're a short walk from the Luxembourg Garden, place Saint Sulpice, St Germain-des-Prés, Montparnasse… If you go up the street you get to rue de Rennes and its many shops, which leads one way to Montparnasse (with plenty of cinemas, theaters and restaurants) and the other way to Place Saint Germain-Des-Prés (its church, Les Deux Magots, Café de Flore, Armani Caffé, boulevard St Germain).
