LOCATION:
Rue Trousseau (part of the quatier St. Bernard) retains much of its artisanal traditions. More than 200 years ago it was the center for cabinet makers and furniture merchants. Along the street and in passages the same skills are practiced today, along with people from film production, design, and the technical world. Numerous bars and restaurants cater to local workers and residents. Although not on the tourist maps, many merchants speak or understand English.
A focal point of the quatier is the Marché d'Aligre, one of the very best and cheapest out-door produce markets in Paris, as well as the only one open six days a week (closed Mondays).
TRANSPORTATION:
While the quatier St Bernard retains the character of a traditional French neighborhood, with family-owned stores and restaurants, it is well situated for discovering Paris. The Ledru-Rollin metro station is within 2 blocks, and the Bastille and metro interchange is than ten minutes by foot. The Gare de Lyon is also a short walk. Bus lines on the Faubourg St. Antoine, at the head of rue Trousseau, serve the Louvre, the St. Germain quatier, Sacré Coeur, and Père-lachaise cemetery.
WALKING AND BIKING:
Leisurely walks from the apartment can lead to Nation, Place de la Bastille and the opera, the Marais district, and the picturesque Canal St. Martin. In a little over 30 minutes one can be at Notre-Dame, the Belleville area, and Place de la Republique.
VELIB, the communal bicicle service run by the city is readily available and bikes can be rented by the half hour at a very low price.
