Area around Nation
I am planning a rather last minute (for me) trip to Paris, found an apartment that looks great, but I am not overly familiar with this location. The nearest metro is Pipcus. I will be going alone. Any advice? Thanks in advance Rosie

Nation is fine because there are good transport connections.

However . . . >>found an apartment that looks great<< Is the apartment legal? Does it have the city registration number?

As Picpus is not on a metro going to Paris central, just make sure you are within walking distance of the Nation metro stop. The #86 bus at Nation is a good connection for St. Germain area

It's a good non touristy area, but you will probably want to spend most of your time in more central areas. Not a problem.

If it's a legal apartment there will be a 13-digit number beginning with 17 listed on any advertisement (usually with the words Registration No.

Listing the registration number is obligatory on all of the ads for holiday apartments in Paris. The number starts with 75.

the registration number should be prominently displayed on the listing. If it ain't there it ain't legal.

If you're not sure or can't find it, maybe post a link to the listing and we can take a look.

It's fine, just a little farther out and kind of dull, if you ask me.
