Description:

Popular with musicians, painters and writers, figures such as Chopin, Dumas, Delacroix and George Sand have all lived in this neighbourhood. Reflecting this heritage, the 9th is full of theatres and hosts two museums of the Romantic Movement: the Musee Gustave Moreau and the Musee de la Vie Romantique. Vistas of elegant buildings with beautifully ornamented facades stretch away in all directions. Bordered to the north by Montmartre and to the south by the Opera Garnier and Madeleine, the 9th offer a "real" neighbourhood within easy walking (or short bus ride) distance of the major sights. Rue Condorcet lies immediately south of Place d'Anvers, below Sacre Coeur. From stepping off the Eurostar or the airport train at Gare du Nord you are an easy 15 minute flat walk to our front door. Step outside the apartment building and immediately you are surrounded by a boulanger, award-winning traiteur, boucherie, supermarket, flower shop and coffee merchant. The boulanger opens at 7.30AM so you can pop down to buy your warm viennoise au chocolat to enjoy with your morning pot of coffee. The Caf? Danube on the corner is a very typical bar with a young artistic scene and makes a good choice for your early evening kir or pastis. One block along rue Condorcet brings you out into pretty Place Trudaine and the renowned rue des Martyrs shopping street, which runs from the church of Notre Dame de Lorette up through Montmartre. Here you will find a bewildering choice of specialty food shops. We particularly recommend Charcuterie Lyonnais for its ham and quiches and Fromagerie Molard for its perfect artisan cheeses. Eating out doesn't mean having to go far after a long day's sightseeing. Rue Condorcet and neighbouring streets are blessed with great restaurants where you will be warmly greeted. If you enjoy cooking, the nearby rue Lepic market and the Batignolles organic market will delight you.
