WHEN IN PARIS, LIVE AS THE PARISIANS LIVE.

Stay in a lovely, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment in the lively pedestrian-only Montorgueil district.

The second arrondissement is in the heart of central Paris, slightly north of the Louvre, the Palais Royal, and the Pompidou Centre. Home to the Paris stock market (the Bourse), the garment district (the Sentier), and several lovely 19th century glass-roofed passages, it is an eclectic mix of small stores, designer shops, cafes, brasseries, and food stores set amid old interesting houses and streets.
