The Beaubourg apartment is within the historic central section of Paris: within
10 minutes on foot you are in the heart of the Marais
(Picasso and Carnevalet Museums, Place des Vosges, and
other major architectural attractions primarily from the
17th and 18th centuries). Also within walking distance
is the Pompidou/Beaubourg Centre, Place de la Republique,
and Les Halles and the Hotel de Ville (Paris City Hall).
The nearest metro stops are Arts & Metriers, Rambuteau and Temple stations.
The
Beaubourg apartment is located on a small street, thus there is very little traffic. The
street is not 'fancy', but it is quaint, quiet, safe and includes
traditional Parisian apartments as well as workshops, a small theater for plays is just down the street.
Just one block away from the apartment is the Arts & Metiers Museum (see photo of Museum above, it is in an old church/priory), which houses the collection of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers, founded in 1794 as a depository for the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions.
The museum is housed in the priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs and includes over 40,000 objects at the Paris site, including older cars and airplanes and an original version of the Foucault pendulum.
The Beaubourg, just 3 blocks from the apartment, is a major cultural and educational complex primarily housed in and around the Pompidou Center. The complex includes a theater, library, the Modern Art Museum (the main Modern Art Museum in France, and one of the largest in Europe) and a center for music research. The Pompidou center receives over 6 million visitors every year.
Near to the apartment are many restaurants, cafes and shops. A larger grocery store is on boulevard Sebastapol, just 5 minutes or so walk from the apartment (called Mononprix). |
