Situated in the 14th arrondissement, this two-bedroom apartment offers home comforts in a typically Parisian period building. It’s close to Parc Montsouris, which is one of the city’s largest green spaces, and a short stroll from the bakeries, restaurants, and markets of Alésia. The apartment itself is ideally set up for a weekend away or longer city break, with a kitchen for cooking your favourite food and two twin bedrooms which make it a good option for groups of friends. There’s also a Metro station just five minutes away, placing the rest of Paris within easy reach.

Local guide
About Montparnasse & Catacombs
This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
