Our building is located near the district La Butte aux Cailles, a village in Paris like Montmartre but unknown to tourists. There are many cafes, restaurants, small squares with trees ...
- 3 railway stations not far: Montparnasse, Lyon and Austerlitz.
- 4 metro stations: Tolbiac, Place d'Italie, Corvisart or Olympiades.
- bus: n ° 27, 47, 67 and the cross 513 Bièvre-Montsouris, superb routes in Paris that will take you to the most beautiful museums and gardens.
We also like to go to Saint Germain des Prés on foot (3km).

For those who eat organic like us, there are the shops :
- "Naturenville" (vegetables and fruits),
- "Bio C'Bon" (grocery store, vegetables & fruits) in front of our residence
- "Biocoop" 180, rue de Tolbiac
For the non-organic, on the ground floor of our building an important store "Monoprix" where you will find food including prepared dishes but also newspapers ... And finally, place d'Italie, for those who love shopping, "Italy 2" is a "mall", a shopping mall where you can find everything closer to home.
