Basque in the sundrenched 45m² 1-bedroom apartment, with a separate kitchen/dining area, located on the 3rd floor of a 19th-Century building (no elevator) in an inner courtyard, situated in the Upper Marais. This charming apartment is within walking distance of Beaubourg and Republique, offering a convenient and lively location in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement.

The apartment is located in the 3ème arrondissement, in the lively district of the Pompidou Centre, known as Beaubourg. To the north of the Pompidou Centre, numerous commercial art galleries and the odd bookshop and ‘Salon de thé’ occupy the attractive ‘hôtels particuliers’ (noble palaces) of the narrow, pedestrian rue Quincampoix; halfway down the street - on the right - is the delightful, cobbled passage Molière, with its quirky shops. South of the Pompidou Centre, rue Renard runs down to the Hôtel de Ville, the seat of the city's government and a mansion of gargantuan proportions in florid neo-Renaissance style, modelled pretty much on the previous building burned down in the Commune. An illustrated history of this edifice, always a prime target in riots and revolutions, is displayed along the platform of M° Châtelet on the Neuilly Vincennes line. Within very easy walking distance is also the Musée de l’Histoire de France - a museum of French history managed by the State Archive - and the Picasso Museum, housed into the prestigious Hotel Salé, built between 1656 and 1659 and reckoned as one of the most famous of the Marais district. At less than 15 minutes on foot is the modern Les Halles district: it is a big urban renewal project comprising the underground shopping mall ‘Forum’ with restaurants, shops and cinema, and a railway/subway station, which has become the biggest and most trafficked underground station in the world. The project also comprises gardens and pedestrian tree-lined streets. Public transport: CLOSEST METRO Arts et Métiers (lines 3,11), Rambuteau (line 11) SAINT SEBASTIEN FROISSART (Line 8)
