| Paris vacation rentals are near many off the beaten path sights, such as the Sacre Coeur. |
Paris vacation rentals are a fantastic way to
immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the city. Most are within walking distance of exciting
things to see and do. While many come to Paris to see the countless landmarks,
there are many hidden delights to be found along the way. Walking tours are a
terrific opportunity to gather information, but galleries, passages, gardens
and captivating landscapes can be found by simply exploring less prominent
areas on foot and watching where the locals go.
Montmartre & SacréCoeur offer visitors an opportunity to explore the many artistic cemeteries and
churches that adorn Paris, including the arch doors of St. Martin and St.
Denis, which are rarely visited by tourists. Street art also adorns most places
in the capital, and all you need is a keen eye for finding unique pieces. In
the historical center of Paris, on the Île de la Cité, at the meeting point of
the Quai de l'Horloge, Boulevard du Palais & the Pont au Change, on the
Tour de l'Horloge and on the corner of the medieval Conciergerie building is
the most antiquated clock in all of Paris!
You’ll want to visit the
corner of rue des Trois Freres and rue Androuet. This section is familiarly
called "La Maison Collignon" (also "Marché de la Butte").
Inside the grocers is an impressive selection of bric-a-brac, where souvenirs
of movies filmed at this location can be purchased at the usual fare of a local
shop. The Statue of Liberty of Auguste Bartholdi, one of the various copies
erected in 1889 on the Ile aux Cygnes (Swans Island), can be seen in front of
the Pont de Grenelle.
