The apartment is in the heart of the Marais, 200 feet from Place des Vosges, at 5 minutes walking distance from the Ile Saint Louis and from Notre Dame. The Marais needs no introduction these days! Much of the area dates from the 16th and 17th Century, featuring narrow streets, fine architecture, boutiques, antique shops, restaurants, cafés. Strict building laws protect its authenticity. This is where Parisians choose to wander on weekends! The centerpiece is, of course, the Place des Vosges, the purest example of 17th Century architecture, its arcaded facade set around a central park with trees and benches - great for a picnic lunch! Five minutes walking distance to the Picasso and Carnavalet Museums, 10 mins by foot to Notre Dame, Ile St Louis, , Ile de la Cité, 3 mins. to Bastille Opera and much more! Also a 3-minute walk to the trendiest boutique shopping on rue des Francs-Bourgeois. And just across the street is a wonderful selection of specialty food shops (bakery, deli, cheese, fish, wine and restaurants...) in the very best French tradition! Located in a privileged position on the rue de Birague, on the second floor of a very well-kept sixteenth century building - a few yards from the Place des Vosges - with boutiques, restaurants, cafés.
