Step into this delightful and quiet 30m² apartment, with its distinct layout with two open mezzanine levels over two consecutive day areas. Located on the 1st floor of a building accessed from its inner court, unique design and comfort converge in this charming abode in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement.

The apartment is in one of the oldest streets of Paris whose name, Rue du Temple, comes from the Templars district, a large area of land given to the Knights Templar military religious order around 1170. In 1240 the 50 metre high keep was built within a walled enclosure. It initially housed the king's treasure, and then became a prison. Its narrow cobbled streets offer a view of the medieval city and with an abundance of little boutiques, galleries, and bars, this is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Paris. Temple is also great for culture, with the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, the Picasso Museum, and the Carnavalet Museum. It's 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.
