The Neighborhood: Situated in the heart of the historic Les Halles and Chatelet area, this is an apartment which could not be more central. Walking distance to Le Louvre, Notre Dame, the Pompidou Centre and Marais and the elegant fashion boutiques in the shopping streets around La Place des Victoires. The Forum des Halles is a four level shopping mall with hundreds of shops, cafés and restaurants and a 50 meter heated swimming pool. Also, there are over a dozen cinemas, many of which show original version US and English films. Barely 5 minutes walk away is the famous Rue Montorgeuil - a thriving remnant of the original Halles which is now a gourmet food paradise with a choice of 5 boulangeries, 4 cheese shops, 3 fishmongers and a host of other tempting speciality food shops - as well as several small supermarkets for more mundane items.
