Everything is very functional and colourful. The old furniture givies it an especially warm atmosphere. It’s located on the northern edge of the Marais about 5 minutes by foot from the Pompidou Centre and 10 minutes from the Notre Dame Cathedral. There are plenty of supermarkets, bakeries, open air markets and even an organic market in the neighbourhood. The Forum des Halle shopping mall is just around the corner, and of course, you have all the boutiques, cafés, restaurants and clubs in the Marais at your disposition. The Ars et Métiers metro station is at the end of the street which will take you directly to the Opera and the Gallery Lafayette.
