Parmentier Apartments

A stone's throw from Oberkampf, Parmentier offers straight, Haussmann-style avenues and little streets that have retained their soul, with many cafés, bars, little restaurants, and shops of all kinds. Not far from the trendy tumult of Oberkampf, Parmentier is quieter but still full of life. Formerly a working class area, the Parmentier district was the seat of many popular revolts in the 19th century. Long characterized by great social diversity, the Parmentier district has modernized, attracting dynamic executives, professionals, and young couples who love Parisian life.

This cosmopolitan district has stores with a thousand flavors. For Italian produce, try the tasty Cooperativa Latte Cisternino (108 Rue Saint Maur). Just opposite, the Bague de Kenza, a fabulous Algerian pastry shop, is also tempting. The district is served by the Parmentier and Saint-Maur metro stations (line 3), as well as Saint-Ambroise station (line 9).
