Rent 2 bedroom apartment of 50 m² in Paris

In the first three decades of the 20th century, Montparnasse was a thriving artistic and literary centre. Many modern painters and sculptors, new novelists and poets, the great and the young were drawn to this area. Its ateliers, conviviality and renewed Bohemian lifestyle made it a magnet for genius, some of them French but many of them foreigners. The great epoque ended with World War II and continued with the destruction of many ateliers. In the beginning of the 70th's, the Tour Montparnasse was constructed – it is Paris’s tallest tower, which heralded the more modern part of Montparnasse. But the area has not lost its appeal. The great cafés remain very much in business and attract a lively international crowd. You can find cinemas, pubs, crêperies, various restaurants and many high-street fashion boutique, such as those in the annexe at the Galeries Lafayette and the rue de Rennes. Many theatres and small cafes are also located on the Rue de la Gaité, which is part of the Historical Axis, where artists such as Apollinaire, Matisse and Henri Rousseau once congregated.
