This elegant part of Paris is well known for its shops, cafés, restaurants, and open air markets. The apartment is very near the American Church and the American University of Paris (and its large English-langauge library), situated near Quai d’Orsay. Nearby sights include the Musée du Quai Branly, Paris's newest museum (built in 2009), which is dedicated to non-Western art, and the famous and iconic Invalides military hospital, museum and home of Napoleon I's tomb. Both banks of the Seine river are beautiful greenways as places for walking and cycling. Other nearby green spaces include the Invalides esplanade and the sprawling Champ de Mars, the most famous picnic spot in Paris.

The nearest metro stations are Alma Marceau (line 9), Pont de l’Alma (line RER C) and La Tour-Maubourg (line 8). Taken together, these lines cross both banks of the Seine and provide easy access to both major tourist areas (the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and Notre Dame) and less central parts of the city. With such a central location, it isn't hard to find your way around Paris easily and quickly.
