Paris Bastille Apartment ~ Neighborhood

	Historic "Cour Damoye" is a tranquil oasis in the middle of the bustling Bastille area. A private pedestrian cobblestone street located between Place de la Bastille and Rue Daval, it is on the border of the Marais and the Bastille -- near the dividing line between the 4th and 11th arrondissements. Its gates are closed at night for the comfort and security of its residents, and during the day its ground floor shops and galleries are open to the public.

	Within 5 minutes of the apartment are dozens of restaurants and cafes suiting all tastes and budgets. Whether you wish to dine at one of Paris's finest restaurants or grab a quick midnight snack (or even satisfy a craving for an American style burger and fries), you need look no further than out your front gate to Place de la Bastille, out your back gate to Rue de Lappe and Rue de la Roquette, or within a couple minutes walk in the immediate neighborhood. International restautants of almost every type are as close as across the street, and the varied offerings of the Marais are within a 5 or 10 minute walk.

	What would Paris be without its patisseries and boulangeries? Look no further than across the street and around the corner to find all that your heart and eyes desire. Your freshly baked baguettes, croissants and pastries are all within 3 minutes of the apartment! You can almost smell them baking! For more information and photos, click on image at left.
	Open-air markets are held three days a week within two minutes of the apartment. On Sunday and Thursday mornings all year long, there is a wonderful open-air produce market (one of the largest in Paris) on Boulevard Richard Lenoir, which is one street away from the apartment. Each Saturday throughout the year, local artists host an amazing arts and crafts market at the same location. For more information and photos, click on image at left.
	Look no further than your "front and back yard" for first class entertainment. The Opéra Bastille is right across the street on Place de la Bastille, and two multi-screen movie theaters are within two minutes of the apartment. The Bastille area is known for its many night clubs, and the lively nightlife of Rue de Lappe and Rue de la Roquette is right around the corner!
