THAT's the place. I read about on someone's website trip report. Of course I didn't bookmark it thinking I could find it again easily. Never found it again.

Many Many Thanks Dave!

Not to go off on a tangent, but how do I bookmark this?

Bookmarking as Pere LaChaise is a place I must go to...

Robespierre

stokebailey, I live in this area, well the more 'bobo' part around Gambetta, and it's closer to picture postcard Paris than Baghdad! It would help if you told us the actual name and number of the street. Because it is true that it varies greatly. But for "safety and Parisian character", Gambetta can hardly be beat!

Thanks, Art. The website for our week's rental just said "stone's throw from Pere Lachaise" and near Gambetta Metro.

Do not rent before you get an exact address, floor, orientation of the appartement. You then can check the pagesjaunes to see the building and the actual surrondings.

Thanks! Good advice. I am actually more concerned about the keyboard crime of being stuck in an unpleasant rental for our Paris week than the kind where worldly goods are stolen by a street thug.

Possibly Art_Vandelay could give me an opinion about the neighborhood of 16 rue du Cambodge? It appears to be hear junction of Rue Orfila and Rue des Pyrenees, and a few blocks northeast of Place Gambetta. I will also try pages jaunes.

Robespierre

Sadly, Art boarded the flight to his final destination last year.

Anywhere along rue des Pyrénées is interesting!
