Stunning stay in Saint-Georges

Wijk

Wedged between Pigalle and Montmartre to the north and Saint-Lazare and the department store district to the south, the Saint-Georges district and the east of the Rochechouart district is the historic heart of the 9th arrondissement, a district that remains authentic and alive, and strangely enough little frequented tourists despite its central position. Come here for its architecture (many neoclassical buildings are established there, composing what was then called the New Athens, high place of romanticism in the nineteenth century), to walk in the footsteps of Bel-Ami de Maupassant or simply to stroll, we are certain to spend a pleasant time in this corner of Paris. Do not miss the lively Rue des Martyrs, where grocers, caterers, cheese makers, wine merchants and trendy shops abound. Treat yourself to a coffee at Kooka Boora Café on the charming Lino Ventura square or in the courtyard of Hotel Amour. Go back to the adventure of the neighborhood near Saint George Square and Villa Ballu (23 rue de Ballu), and if you feel like it, enter the little Museum of Romantic Life (16 rue Chaptal). The historic setting of the museum revisited by the famous French designer Jacques Garcia offers a fascinating dive into the romantic Paris of the time through a skillful reconstruction (portraits, furniture, jewelry etc.) Not to mention that the museum houses one of the more charming terraces of the city, a well-kept secret in the neighborhood.For your taste buds, nothing better than the gourmet restaurant scoundrels with a very good price / quality in the street Bruyère at 25 rue la bruyère (at the foot of the apartment). Many restaurants are located Gustave Toudouze place at 100m.
