I live in the 12th "arrondissement", in the district of Place d'Aligre, a real small village in the city, with its square, its famous market and its small restaurants in the pedestrian streets around. This is the neighborhood I grew up in, and I’m very fond of it.

From the apartment you will have access to a very wide choice of shops (Franprix, open air market every day except Mondays and covered market on the Place d'Aligre, Biocoop, Naturalia, Monoprix, small grocery stores, fish shops, butchers, cheese shops and excellent bakeries within a 5-minute walk). I would recommend the bakery "Le Blé Sucré", located 5 minutes from the apartment in front of the square Trousseau, whose "pains au chocolat" and madeleines have been voted among the best in Paris!

You will be ten minutes walk from the Bastille and the banks of the Seine, two minutes from the Coulée Verte, five minutes from the Gare de Lyon, and it will be very easy to visit all of Paris from the apartment.
