Hi Forum Friends,
Three of us are travelling to Paris before catching up with a RS tour to southern France. We are looking to rent an apartment for three days and although we have been to Paris before, have never stayed in an apartment with access to our own kitchen. Does any one have a recommendation for a pleasant neighborhood where we could walk to a local grocery, boulangerie, fromagerie for supplies?
In terms of sightseeing, we are used to taking the Metro so the neighborhood would not necessarily have to be near any major attractions.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joan

We didn’t stay in an apartment. We stayed in the 13th Arr. near the Place d’Italie, a nice non touristy area with good Metro, bus, taxi access

The 13th is nice and interesting, never stayed in it but have visited the district,....diverse, non-touristy, basically local visitors, and easily connected to the Metro.
