Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the 5th arrondissement, this apartment makes a fantastic base for friends and families. It's as chic as it is comfortable, though the living area is a bit snug for all six people. Breakfasts around the banquette table will be a stylish affair, while the soaker bath is just what's needed after exploring Paris on foot. And speaking of adventures, you're just a twenty-minute walk from Luxembourg Gardens, thirty from Tour Montparnasse, and close to the bustling shops, bars, and eateries in the Latin Quarter.

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!
