Location
About the surrounding area of Apartment JosetteThe beautiful Apartment Josette is located in a hidden away courtyard overflowing with luscious green plants that guide you to the building’s front door. This charming courtyard is well-known for its former cabinet-making workshops and is tucked away, hidden from the busy streets of the city, adding to the allure of Paris as a city full of secret and delightful spaces.
The courtyard is located in a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood in the eastern part of Paris. Between the Place de la Nation and the Bastille, this area is known for its lively atmosphere and diverse population. It is a popular residential area, with a mix of young professionals, families, and students. The streets are lined with trendy cafes, restaurants, and shops, as well as several parks and green spaces.
One of the most notable features of the area is the Marché d'Aligre, a bustling outdoor market that takes place six days a week. Here, visitors can browse through stalls selling everything from fresh produce to vintage clothing and sample a variety of local specialties.
The area is also well-connected to the rest of the city, with several metro stations and bus lines running through the neighbourhood. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals, offering a taste of Parisian life away from the more crowded and touristy areas of the city.
No trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the iconic Eiffel Tower. You can take the elevator to the top for a breath-taking view of the city or sit underneath with a picnic and a bottle of wine, enjoying the lights. The Louvre is another place not to be missed, it is one of the largest museums in the world and is home to some of the most famous artworks, including the Mona Lisa. You can spend an afternoon or even a whole day exploring the museum's vast collection!

Region
Fall in love with la ville lumière during your time in Paris, one of the most famous capital cities in the world.
Everyone has different reasons for visiting this beautiful city. Perhaps you hope to visit some of Paris’ fine museums and art galleries, climb the Eiffel Tower or shop to your hearts content along the iconic boulevards. You may prefer to simply wander around the city parks, enjoy leisurely lunches on the left bank before strolling across Pont Neuf to admire the grandeur of the Louvre.
Discover the many charming neighbourhoods of Paris following the footsteps of famous writers, artists and philosophers. Start off on the right bank in Le Marais, the Jewish quarter, with its boutiques, old bakeries and kiosks selling delicious falafel (expect a queue!) – take a guided walking tour to learn all about this neighbourhood’s heritage. On the other side of the river, soak up the student ambience of the Latin Quarter, home to La Sorbonne, and sip coffee on a café terrace on Boulevard Saint-Germain for a truly iconic Parisian experience.
Meanwhile, a walk around Jardin du Luxembourg is a must, especially for families who will adore the little boats by the fountain, donkey rides, carrousel and a popular new playground (with an entry fee). Pack a picnic and sit on a bench beneath the shady trees as you people watch Parisians and tourists alike making the most of this atmospheric park.
Keen shoppers will appreciate the likes of Galeries Lafayette as well as the luxury stores of the Champs-Elysées. If you are visiting Le Centre Pompidou, you could also walk up to the vast Forum des Halles for recognisable brands in central Paris. Not forgetting the many markets from the twice-weekly Bastille Market selling delicious food to the sprawling weekend flea market at Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen that dates back to the late 19th century.
Embrace the romantic ambience of Paris when you walk by the river on La Rive Droite with beautiful views as you pass Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité. It’s especially lovely as evening nears with vibrant bars by the riverside whilst children will love the play areas and climbing walls as you stroll. Look out for the Eiffel Tower in the far distance which sparkles so magically on the hour from dusk.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesParis is a great place to visit with kids, with several fun and educational activities to get involved with throughout the city. Whilst the apartment itself only has one bedroom, there is a sofa bed in the living room that kids can use!
Climbing the Eiffel Tower is a fantastic activity for kids, giving them pictures and stories to run back home to their friends with! While the Eiffel Tower is not located in Châtelet, it's just a short metro ride away and is a must-see attraction for kids visiting Paris. The tower offers amazing views of the city and a fun adventure for kids to climb the stairs or take the elevator to the top.
Locally to the apartment, your whole family can explore the Marché d'Aligre, where kids will love wandering through the colourful stalls of this bustling outdoor market, and sampling fresh fruits and pastries, whilst browsing through vintage toys and books.
If they need to burn off some energy, then it is worth visiting Jardin de Reuilly, a park located just a few minutes' walk from the apartment with a playground, basketball court, and skatepark, making it a great place for kids to run around.
One of the best ways to explore with kids is to hire bikes, and one of our favourite spots to ride along is the Promenade Plantée, an elevated park, also known as the Coulée Verte, is a former railway line that has been transformed into a green space with stunning views of the city.
