The rue des Blancs-Manteaux was named for an order of monks
that established itself there in 1258, making it one of the
oldest extant streets in Europe. It lies in the heart of
the Marais district, within a few blocks of the Hotel de
Ville and the Centre Pompidou museum of modern art, and a
short walk from the Seine, Notre Dame cathedral, the
Bastille, the Ile-St-Louis, the Left Bank, and the
Louvre. Its central location makes it ideal for tourism,
and the quiet building and nearby markets of the rue
Rambuteau provide a wonderful home base for longer stays.
The apartment was completely renovated in 2007, and has a
brand-new kitchen, large bathroom, and amenities such as
cable TV, stereo, wireless high-speed internet, and a
remote-controllable skylight.
