Montorgeuil Area - parisreaumur75.over-blog.com

The apartment is very close to markets, bakeries, cafés & restaurants, old shops and stores.. You will be located in a special area where you will find many various ones, with real quality. This pedestrian area is called Montorgueil.

Just there, you will find, for example :

-- Boulangerie KAYSER = Excellent and famous bakery = 16 rue des petits carreaux

-- Les petits carreaux = parisian Brasserie restaurant, typical = 17 r. des petits carreaux

-- Le loup Blanc = original restaurant, slow food = 42 rue Tiquetonne

-- Le petit Marcel = near Centre Pompidou, old brasserie = 65 rue Rambuteau

-- Chez Denise (a little expensive but fantastic french food! You have to book if you want to go) Address : 5, rue des Prouvaires : http://www.paris-bistro.com/choisir/paris1/chezdenise.html

The Montorgueil district is centred around rue Montorgueil, a primarily pedestrian street which is a "rue des commercants" - or shopping street par excellence. This street is packed with all of the little shops any Parisian (or visitor) could want - greengrocers, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries (including Stohrer, a bakery and patisserie dating from 1730) flower shops, chocolate shops, wine stores, and even a few gelato shops.

Restaurants and cafes abound, as well as the scores of boutiques in the surrounding streets. The area has in recent years become a haven for young designers and this is evident in the small boutiques scattered throughout, but the larger clothing stores still remain as well, centred around rue Etienne Marcel, which runs toward Place des Victoires, a 5 minute walk away. An often missed treasure at 2 minutes from the apartment is the Passage du Grand Cerf, one of Paris's enclosed passages - glass-roofed passageways lined with shops and boutiques. True to the neighbourhood, this passage contains several funky clothing stores, a restaurant, and a few galleries and furniture stores.

Closest metros are Sentier (line 3) Reaumur Sebastopol (line 3 & 4), Les Halles (RER A, B, D and metro lines 4, 7, 11 & 14).
