Where to stay near Paris’s Pompidou Centre

With its rainbow-coloured tubes and exposed skeleton, the Centre Georges Pompidou stands out in a city as old as Paris. The building’s high-tech design is said to have turned the architectural world upside down in the 1970s, but nowadays it’s one of Paris’s must-see sights. Inside, you’ll find an immense public library, music research centre, and Europe’s largest modern art museum.

The Pompidou Centre is bordered by bohemian district Le Marais and the restaurant-lined Rue Montorgueil. To stay in this lively neighbourhood within walking distance of the Centre, take a peek at these four highly rated Parisian apartments.

Private Apartment – Le Marais – Rambuteau

Private Apartment – Le Marais – Rambuteau is across the street from delicious chocolatier Pralus Paris Rambuteau. There’s also a gourmet grocer’s, Le Comptoir de Mathilde, next door, where you can pick up chocolate bonbons, rum liqueur and pressed olive oil. These goodies will serve you well in your apartment, where you can prepare snacks to serve on a shiny kitchen island. There’s only one bedroom, but the sofa opens up into a double bed, meaning there’s room for four. You’ll find the Centre Pompidou two minutes away on foot.

Appartement Beaubourg

With a double bed, three single beds and a pull-out sofa, Appartement Beaubourg is big enough for seven guests – making it an ideal choice for families and groups. Located in the 3rd arrondissement, the apartment is in the heart of the Quartier Sainte-Avoye, known for its concentration of art galleries. Around the corner is the Chacha et Compagnie, a tiny seafood bar with great wine. A 3-minute walk gets you to the Centre Pompidou, while the Rambuteau Metro Station is just opposite the apartment.

Appartement proche du Centre Pompidou

Appartement proche du Centre Pompidou is situated in a 300-year-old building at the end of a tiny alley in le Marais. The entrance to the studio is via an idyllic cobblestoned courtyard, lined by palm fronds and hedges. Inside, exposed wooden beams and warm lighting create a sense of cosiness, while the quiet and seclusion almost make you forget you’re in the centre of Paris. Head out the door and you’ll reach le Centre Pompidou in three minutes – walk for 10 in the other direction to reach the banks of the Seine.

Le Marais – Hôtel De Ville

Black and white photos and 3D geometric mirrors decorate the trendy Le Marais – Hôtel De Ville. These apartments come in a range of sizes, all with monochromatic colour schemes and compact kitchens. Big windows and statement lights welcome you to the living areas, which all have a dining table and sofa. The neighbourhood is atmospheric, with little bars like Les Fontaines and Le Chat Zen inviting you to dine and drink in style. A 4-minute walk away is the Centre Pompidou, while the Notre Dame is within 700 metres.
