On Rue Guenegaud between Quai de Conti and Rue de Mazarine, it borders the Seine River and is situated in one of the most attractive and historic areas of the Left Bank: Saint-Germain Des Pres. This district is home to the oldest restaurant of Paris, "Le Procope", just down the street, which offers traditional French specialties and excellent fresh seafood. It was a favorite of Voltaire back in the 18th century! Not far from there is the open-air market on Rue de Buci, 0.2 miles (230 m)away. Go for a bite at the famous cafés "Deux Magots" and "Café de Flore", both reachable within a 0.3-mile stroll (480 m) along the lovely Parisian streets. Back in the day, these venues were packed with French and expatriate American patrons of the existentialist and literary movements. The St. Germain neighborhood offers a number of elegant and avant-garde fashion shops and all kinds of conveniences. You can also visit the adjacent district, or 5th arrondissement, and explore the St. Michel area of the Latin Quarter.

L’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts is just 0.3 (480 m) miles from the building, as is the Paris-Descartes University; Sciences Po Paris is located a bit further. Cross the Seine, on the Pont des Arts, to get to famous attractions like the Louvre Museum and to the Jardin des Tuileries. It’s just a 0.4-mile walk (640 m), and on your way, you can stop by the Institut de France. The Ile de la Cite is even closer, less than 500 feet (about 150 m) away. The Jardins du Luxembourg and its Palais – the French Senate – are 0.4 miles (640 m) away. If you need to commute any further, metro stations are easily accessible. The Saint-Germain-des-Prés station (0.2 miles / 320 m)) is on the line 4, just next to the Mabillon station on line 10.
