Exploring Paris
It's so interesting to see how a little poking around for a Paris apartment can lead to new ideas:I loved the Jacques Bonsergent area of Canal St. Martin, and felt comfortable in the Etoile, Place des Ternes section of the 17th. Parc Monceau was fantastic. The St. Georges/Martyrs area is quite a nice little pocket in the 9th, as was the Rue de Levis in the 17th.
Ultimately, my big "sea change" during this trip occurred because I was staying in the tourist heart of the St. Germain. Though everything was super convenient, I really, really, really wouldn't want to live there. The city was crawling with Rugby fans, and though my apartment was quiet, I can see the tourist presence wearing mightily on you if you were a resident.”
