The Area
This apartment is uniquely located in a former sanctuary for nuns. It provides you with all the modern comforts in a unique and serene atmosphere.
The flat's street (rue des Saules exit) brings you directly to the heart of Montmartre
as you pass by Lapin Agile Bar-Cabaret, a subject of one of Picasso's most famous paintings, and the
unique Montmartre vineyard.
At the street's end, you will be by Sacre Coeur Basilica, the crowning glory at the top
of Montmartre. It provides the most spectacular view in all of Paris.
You are spoiled for choice in terms of food shopping, restaurants and cafes around the apartment.
Location
The metro system is the fastest way to travel throughout the city but the buses can be very nice as well if you are not in a rush. The 80 bus has a great route and stops
on rue Caulaincourt. This route can take you directly to St Lazare and the Grand Magasins, the Champs Elysee, Ecole Militaire by the Eiffel Tower and more.
Line 12 of the metro brings you directly to Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge, Concorde and its fantastic gardens, St-Germain-des-Pres and its writers, Montparnasse and its
artists. See us on a map.
A true Montmartrois, however, uses their feet to go around the districts. This is a perfect way to enjoy the unique architecture of the area: stairs with antique lights,
wooden houses, centuries old boutiques and more.
If you need a taxi, there is a taxi stand at the corner of rue des Saules and rue Caulaincourt which is less than a 2 minute walk away.
