The Benedictines of the abbey gave the neighborhood its village atmosphere. The Abbey was fully enclosed by walls where the law of the church prevailed; laws where only the pope could intervene, not even the archbishop of Paris. The district grew away from the monastery in the 17th century, with the arrival of the Reine Margot, settling down in an enormous estate on the rue de Seine with gardens extending from the river all the way to the Invalides. In the period of 1853-1870, St. Germain was drastically changed by the public works of Georges Haussmann, the Prefect of Paris, when he demolished its medieval streets and replaced them with the wide and modern day streets of boulevard Saint-Germain and the rue de Rennes. In our century, St. Germain remains synonymous with literary and artistic life. It is the home to many famous cafés such Les Deux Magots and Le Café de Flore where writers came to work, philosophers came to ponder, and artists came for inspiration. St. Germain is well known for its designer boutiques with stylish Parisiennes buying up the latest couture creations. St Germain is also the home of the famously chic Bon Marché department store. The outlet was founded in 1838 as a fixed-price department store—the name literally meaning “the good market” or “the good deal”. Those days are perhaps long gone as today Le Bon Marché is now a mecca of high fashion and style with prices to match. Try the splendid food hall located opposite the clothing store. St. Germain is a great area to explore, wander, and feel the history of Paris around you! Enjoy! 1 Table of contents Page 3. Top Tips Page 4. Amenities, phone, TV Page 5. High Speed Internet Page 6.

    1. “Hôtel de Sens, Rue du Figuier.” Eugène Atget, 1899. Albumen print from glass negative. Courtesy of the Bibliothèque National de France, Paris. FA v10-2 a-b_i-xii_1-114_body.indd 12 5/8/14 8:43 AM Sabrina Hughes Imag(in)ing Paris for Posterity Despite the reputation of Paris as the turn- of- the- century city of light and capital of modernity, the defining characteristic of Eugène Atget’s (1857–1927) urban photography is its empty and abandoned appearance, as if Parisians had fled the city just prior to exposure. A photograph like Hôtel de Sens (Fig- ure 1) is representative of his oeuvre. Atget accentuated the morphological aspects that rendered this building valuable— namely the peaks of the turrets and pointed arches—by the upward tilt of the camera. The height of the building is em- phasized by an ample foreground and empty street stretching toward the viewer and a street- level point of view. This structure, a fifteenth- century hôtel particulier in the Marais, is a marvel of historical architecture, and singular among Parisian monarchial monuments. George Frederick Edwards in his 1908 guidebook, Old Time Paris, a Plain Guide to Its Chief Survivals, enthusiastically extolled his readers to meditate on the structure. It is worth quoting Edwards at length as he describes the hotel and its surroundings: Now at your right elbow is a remnant of Mediaeval Paris— the Supreme Example— THE HOTEL DE SENS! Shut out from consciousness, if you can, the aggressive presence of that intrusive market, and revel in this har- monious anachronism, this belated lingerer of a bygone world.

  • Picardie 22 Rue De Picardie Entrance Code: 82B39 Esc C (Agecif) 1St Floor on Left Telephone: 01 77 19 45 78 Metro: Temple, Filles Du Calvaire
    Tel London: +44 208 961 6770 www.parisrentalconnections.com Email: [email protected] 14/02/2019 Picardie 22 rue de Picardie Entrance Code: 82B39 Esc C (Agecif) 1st floor on left Telephone: 01 77 19 45 78 Metro: Temple, Filles du Calvaire Enjoy! Rue de Picardie is situated in the Quartier du Temple, the northern section of the Marais between the Place de la République and Arts-et-Métiers. It is ideally located to explore the varied neighbourhoods of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th districts of Paris. The Quartier du Temple was once a fortified, semi-independent entity under the Knights Templar, until the order grew so powerful it rivaled the monarchy and it was suppressed in 1313 by Philippe le Bel. Their Templar Tower was razed in 1808, and the Carreau du Temple market built in its place in 1857 by Baron Haussmann, along with the Mairie for the 3rd arrondissement and the Square du Temple. Within short walk, The Marché des Enfants-Rouges (Market of Red Children!) is the oldest covered market in Paris, dating back to 1615 (that’s Louis XIII for the slow ones!). After a six year period of closure and threatened with the prospect of being levelled, this historic market was saved, refurbished, and re-opened only a few years ago, thanks to the insistence of local residents. Explore the finest of chocolate shops, health foods, cheeses, flowers, and oysters. And if you’re wondering about the name, well, the kids in the local orphanage in the 17th century wore red uniforms. You can also visit the Square du Temple park (corner of Rue du Temple and Rue de Bretagne) created in the mid-19th century great for leisurely stroll and for children which is wonderful in spring and summer.

As the object of its author was to sup­ ply a long-needed, correct version of the acts of vio­ lence and unlawfulness whereby Louis Napoleon sup­ planted the Republic of France by the Empire of which he became the head; so the object of the translators has been, to give to the "plain, unvarnished tale'' a form and style which should make it intelligible and popular in the hands of American readers. It is for this rea­ son that they have added a copious appendix of histor­ ical, biographical, and explanatory notes.

  • Paris Ro Mantiqu E
    → Press file 2017 – Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau ROMANTIQUE PARIS 1 → Press file 2017 – Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau The favourite city of lovers the world over has become a byword for romance. Every arrondissement has its share of lovebirds meeting for a first date or a Valentine’s Day kiss, and the city is alive with sparks flying between paramours. What could be more romantic than strolling along the banks of the Seine hand in hand with your sweetheart? Paris is a city where everything is possible, and passions come to the fore. ROMANTIC PLACES FOR A WALK ROMANTIQUE The most inspiring views of Paris The best viewpoints are for sharing with your loved one. The most famous is the one from the square in front of the Sacré-Cœur basilica, at the top of Montmartre hill. In eastern Paris, the PARIS hill at Belleville also offers a spectacular view. From the 56th floor of the Tour Montparnasse, the Ciel de Paris restaurant high above the capital offers amazing moments. Only the Eiffel Tower is higher – so high, in fact, that you’ll sometimes literally have your head in the clouds. Great views are also guaranteed as you travel up the glass-walled escalators at the Pompidou Centre. At the top, you can carry on enjoying the vista and watch the sun setting over the city as you sip a drink at Chez Georges, the restaurant on the top floor of the modern art museum. Note to the intrepid: the tethered hot air balloon at the Parc André Citroën takes you up into the sky to hover over the park from a height of 150 metres.
