It is the neighborhood of the picturesque rue Montorgueil, of the mythical grand Rex (the biggest movie theater screen in Europe), of the paved streets where independents small shops and restaurants swarm from many horizons. The neighborhood breathes energy, it’s invigorating. But here we also know how to live the slow pace life, the soft rhythm of a Sunday afternoon spent at a café terrasse, watching people passing by. The Sentier is charged with history, it is full of unusual detours, charming idiosyncrasies and facades to see : starting with ours, then all the streets named in memory of Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt, the Trigano point, (a unique architectural curiosity in Paris), the vegetated wall of the ancient « Cour des Miracles », the street artist CK Combo’s mural, pacifist image in favor of LGBTQ rights. You wonder about famous Parisian museums ? The Louvre and Pompidou center are at a 15 minutes walk away. Cross over the Seine, you are at Orsay Museum. You’ll get to the Picasso museum after walking through the Marais : that is also 15 minutes away. You’d rather ride ? Rent a bicycle around, Paris tourism starts at the corner. Follow the river, it’s a 10-minute ride.
