The Paris/Ile de France region
Paris is a beautiful city, one of the most beautiful in the world. From the top of one of the world's best-loved landmarks, the city of Paris spreads in wondrous symmetry like a perfectly constructed spider's web of beautiful buildings, parks and long avenues. Paris is huge, elegant, sumptuous, and it has places so astonishing to be remembered for the entire life.
A sunset or a dawn on one of the many bridges on the Seine worth a visit by itself. The city is also impressive for all the infrastructures, from the perfectly-managed hundreds of museums to the always-perfect condition of all the monuments and historical places, starting from the fantastic "Hotel Des Invalides" seen from "Place de la Concorde" to the incredible "Place Vendôme", passing through the huge "Arc de Triomphe" and the impressive and never ending "Champs Elysées".
Dozens of restaurants, bars, brasseries and typical parisian "cafés" everywhere are then capable of providing a food for any budget. Parisians are really living their city. In the evening up to late hours all the bars and the bistros are always full of people from any age and country. Theaters, concerts halls and the 2 parisian operas are always fully booked and the last movie in major cinemas is shown around midnight. It is still the city of dreamers, one of the few places where rain and cold simply add to the dynamic essence sought time and again by people from all over the world. Lovers of food, wine art and music flock to taste the exquisite flavours of the city that justifiably holds the title of the capital of style. Last but not least the city is clean, well kept and generally respected by its inhabitants.
Central Paris / Le Marais area
Located between Rue Saint-Antoine and rue du Pas de la Mule, this studio apartment is next to the royal Place des Vosges, famous and hailed for the harmony of its architecture, where the famous French novelist Victor Hugo lived from 1832 to 1848 (number 6). It is still possible to visit his apartment and the room where he wrote his novels (Les Misérables in particular). Built under Henry IV the singular Place des Vosges was first called Place Royale, having been the heart of an aristocratic district, where the rebellious nobles flouted Richelieu's ban for duel fights. It is part of the special atmosphere enclosing the live and historical Marais area with its substantial number of points of interest, such as museums, art galleries, design shops, as well as diverse types of trendy bars and restaurants. In a walking distance are the Seine River with its two delectable islands - Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis - and the Hotel de Ville (City Hall).
In the neighborhood there are a number of traditional restaurants, cafes and open-air markets, such as the market on Place d’Aligre and the one on Rue Richard Lenoir. All other sorts of services are easily found in the neighborhood. Numerous cinemas are in and around the area.
Just steps away is the Rue de la Roquette. This street is mostly frequented by young people. The heart of this area is the historic Place de la Bastille, symbol of the French Republic. Built during the 14th century as a fortified royal residence, it is the most famous monument in Paris. You have the new Opéra House nearby, considered as one of the best Operas in the world, inaugurated at the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution.
