About the area of Paris

Within a 10-minute walk, discover the wine and cheese shops, restaurants and market atmosphere of rue des Martyrs, a fabulous shopping street described in a 2005 New York Times article as "a slice of village life" that will "satisfy that perennial desire for discovery." If you would rather walk to the north, the same amount of time will take you to the foot of Montmartre, the village known for the legendary artists who once called it home, and tiny, picturesque streets that transport visitors imaginations to Paris' rich past. It’s always a treat to wander around, visiting Sacre Coeur cathedral and the two remaining windmills perched up high on the hill. If you're a Foodie, don't miss the weekly market on Friday that wraps around the park at Square d'Anvers, about a two-minute walk from the apartment. It's an afternoon market beginning at 3:30 p.m. each Friday, so no
need to rise-and-shine early to get the best selection. Plan on a delicious evening meal at home that night! If you're traveling with kids, make good use of the park with a children's play area just down the street at Square d'Anvers. Parents can take a break on a bench and take in the view of Sacre Coeur while the kids work off
a little excess energy. And should you want to go to the much larger Jardin de Luxembourg across town, just pick up the 85 bus and it will take you right to it! The merri-go-rounds at Place des Abbesses and Sacre Coeur are also a hit with kids.
