Lovely apartment with terrace located in a calm street but in a bustling area. Once you have left the calm of the rue Rougemont you are in the bustling “Grands Boulevards” area. Little known to tourists, it has been Paris’ theater district since Louis the 14th. For those who like to shop, the famous department store, the Galeries Lafayette is walking distance. Also, no worries for dining, as a supermarket and boundless restaurants dot the area, as well as cinemas (the famous 1920’s Grand Rex cinema is a minute away with one of the largest screens in Europ). Of course you can not escape the Parisian cafés in this district; they are on every street corner with large outdoor terraces for those who like to people-watch, and can also be found in the numerous “passages” which are precursors to modern malls, and invented in the 19th century to be able to shop while being protected from the rain; these elegant corridors can be found in surprising corners and each has its own style and a vaulted steel and glass roof. In addition to cafés and “passages”, numerous night clubs are within walking distance, in addition to the Musée Grévin, the most well-known house of waxed figures after London. Of course the tourist who wants to live like a Parisian has Paris’ historical center also within walking distance, and public transportation nearby for further distances.
