Paris Apartment 3 Bedroom Rental in Les Halles (PA-3440)

Neighborhood:

This luxurious apartment is located between Les Halles and Beaubourg. Les Halles is one of Paris' oldest neighborhoods; the writer Emile Zola referred to it as "le ventre de Paris" (the belly of Paris). In the 12th century, this area was an open market, which was removed at the end of the 1960s and replaced by the Forum des Halles, a busy multi-level underground complex featuring a shopping mall, museums, the Paris film library, and a sports center. Even today, Les Halles keeps its central vocation to the quotidian life of the city and its inhabitants. The street level of Les Halles features a garden, the Jardin des Halles, surrounded by pedestrian streets. This garden invites visitors to walk among climbing plants, honeysuckle, jasmine, kiwi vines, wisteria, clematis and countless other plants.

The Pompidou Center, also known as Beaubourg, an arts complex devoted to modern and contemporary art and design, is a particularly colorful structure in steel and glass with exposed pipes. Around this area of Paris, there are also a lot of small streets such as Rue Montorgueil with its restaurants, cafés, and specialty foods. It is also very close to the Louvre and is just steps from the liveliest part of the Marais.

The Châtelet-Les Halles underground train station, connected to the Forum Les Halles, is a major transportation hub with five metro lines and three RER lines (suburban train).
