Neighborhood:

This furnished one bedroom duplex apartment is located on Rue Georges Pitard between Rue de la procession and Rue de Vouille. The apartment is in a mostly residential neighborhood, allowing the tenant to experience real Parisian life with charming squares and all sorts of boutiques, restaurants, pleasant cafes, open-air markets, supermarkets, and convenience shops.

It is close to the open market on rue Alésia with its specialty stores, such as bakeries, delicatessens and cheese shops. In close proximity, there is also the famous "Marché au puces de Vanves" with shops selling old books, furniture and antiques.

Farther, to the east, is the huge Porte de Versailles Trade Show Center and, to the north, the lively and trendy Montparnasse district, also famous for the city's highest skyscraper showing a singular view over Paris and for its large number of theaters and cinemas.
