Léon

Around the apartment

The Leon apartment is located in the Quartier de la Roquette, bordering the 11th and 12th arrondissements of Paris. It is a low-key, largely local neighbourhood which is home to what Parisians call “hidden cities”. For a couple of blocks away you will find the village de Charonne: from paved streets to tiny colourful houses, and traditional glass fronts… it almost feels like you have left Paris! With Bastille, Oberkampf and République at its doorstep, you have found yourself in one of the most entertaining areas of Paris. And what would Paris’ festive scene be without food ? Rue de Charonne is a street that cuts through the centre of the Roquette neighbourhood, lined with gastronomic restaurants that will delight your tastebuds ! Wether it is at the Michelin-star Bistro Paul Bert, a very old-school, classic French bistro, or at Alain Ducasse (also Michelin-star) chocolate factory for a sweet craving - everyone will find something they like. If shopping is what you fancy most, the famous Marais is just a 10-minute walk away, with its hipster vibes and arguably the best second hand shops in the capital (and dare we say, in Europe ?).
