Location! Location! Location!

Realtors are always telling us that the most important thing about a piece of property is it's location. The location of this apartment is the best we've ever had in Paris. We walk out the front door and are immediately in the heart of the city.


Our neighbourhood dates between the years 1000-1400. It gives new meaning to the word ancient. Staying here is like stepping back in time.


We are surrounded by churches. Notre Dame towers over everything around here. Construction started in 1163 and the cathedral was finished in 1345.


The oldest church in Paris is right next door to us. St. Julien-le-Pauvre was completed in 1250.


The oldest living inhabitant in Paris is a robinia tree planted in 1602 by Monsieur Robinier in a nearby park.


Right across the street from us is the Guillotine Pub. It sports an authentic guillotine from 1792 on it's wall.


One block away on rue St. Severin is the skinniest house in Paris.


Around the corner is a sundial on the wall that Salvador Dali created in 1966.


Paris' oldest street sign is just down our street on a scruffy wall above a cinema. It's from the 1300s. It's a bas-relief of Saint Julien and his wife helping Christ across the Seine.

I love this location. I can hardly wait to stay here again.
