This apartment is located within the 7th arrondissement, on the Rive Gauche (Left Bank of the River Seine). Boasting two bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with a single bed) and two bathrooms, this apartment hosts 3 guests with plenty of space.
Within this districtโs boundaries can be found, most famously, the Eiffel Tower, Hotel des Invalides (Napoleonโs resting place), Musรฉe dโOrsay, Musรฉe du Quai Branly and Musรฉe de lโArmรฉe (the largest military museum in the world), just to name a few. Rive Gauche is home to the Boulevard Saint-Germain which leads to the Place de la Concorde; and 15 minutes in the other direction takes you to the beautiful Musรฉe Rodin, one of Parisโ most beautiful sculpture museums.
The 7th has been the seat of the French aristocracy and upper classes since the 17th Century. The oldest and most prestigious families of the French nobility built outstanding residences in the area; architectural wonders such as the Hotel Matignon, Hotel de Salm, and Hotel Biron are a must-see. So, itโs no surprise that today, the 7th is home to several embassies, the Assemblรฉe Nationale (French Parliament), and numerous government ministries.
But the 7th has far more to offer than just history and grandiosity: The 7th plays host to more open markets than anywhere else in Paris. Should you choose to put that beautiful kitchen to good use, prepare your meals using the finest ingredients from the outdoor marchรฉs. A must visit on Wednesdays and Saturdays is the open market at Pont de lโAlma. Merchants from the French countryside come to sell patรฉ, local wines, cheeses, fresh flowers, fish, baked goods and even escargots.
The 7th is also a fashionistaโs dream come true. From boutiques on Avenue Montaigne and Rue du Faubourg St. Honorรฉ to fresh and hip designers off the Boulevard St. Germain, there is something for everyone.
