24 Rue Louise-Émilie de la Tour d'AuvergneBouillon 47
47 Rue Marguerite de RochechouartThis for me is one of the better restaurants around the corner
This place is very touristy, but inexpensive and can be fun. Don’t mind the waiters they’re an institution.

Something to do on a rainy day
11 boulevard Montmartre - 75002 Paris
An hommage to strollers and curious walkers, the Passage des Panoramas is considered the first covered walkway in Paris. Built in 1799, it has retained its old-fashioned charm and merchant spirit. Each store window reflects an historical moment of the French capital; from the Bourse district to the Grands Boulevards, sheltered by a magnificent canopy, the 'commercial artery' is listed as historical monument. Along its 133 m of intense activity, eateries share the space with craftsmen. They work alongside many postcards, coins, autographs and old stamps collectors. Admire the remaining ancient architecture, such as the Chocolatier Marquis and Stern printing house, symbolising the ambitious planning from the 18th century. Inaugurated in 1807, the Théâtre des Variétés is still active, programming concerts and plays, it has enlivened the walkway for two centuries, with celebrities always present.

This is a very small museum close to the apartment. It will give you an idea of how Paris was in the 9th arrondissement around the time my apartment was built.

Rue des Martyrs is one of the busiest streets of shops and cafes to be found in South Chique Pigalle . Linking the Eglise Notre Dame de Lorette and Sacré Coeur, it has kept, despite the years, its old-fashioned charm with its traditional shops, many typical Parisian cafes. All the extravagant charm and colour of the 9th arrondissement on a single street! The story behind the name is that Rue des Martyrs recalls St. Denis, the first bishop of Paris, who was decapitated under the Roman Empire. The legend says he picked up his head to travel the length of this famous street, dying a few kilometres north of where the Basilica of Saint-Denis was later founded.
