- Picasso Museum: Same distance to the other direction is this museum consecrated to the work and life of Cubist artist Pablo Picasso.

- The Saint-Paul Village: A series of quiet, interconnected courtyards form this peaceful village on Rue Saint Paul, 650 meters (.4 miles) south of the apartment. Here you will find art galleries, antiques and artisan boutiques as well as many food shops.

- Rue de Bretagne and Marché des Enfants Rouges (600 m /.4 miles): This is one of the oldest covered food markets in Paris and offers all sorts of fresh produce and flowers.
