The river walk along the left bank of the Seine from Pont de Lama to Musee Orsay is a must, an excellent example of urban renewal (it was a former industrial area and road on the river) converted for recreation and gathering.

Strolling through the neighborhoods and parks of Paris is one of life's great pleasures. And when you want to go further or get their more quickly, take the metro, bus or Velib bikes that are available within three blocks of the apartment.
BUS ROUTES:
Paris has the best and most comprehensive municipal bus system in the world. Using the bus is the best way to know Paris and to get your bearings! Its system is frequent and serves every neighborhood. You can familiarize yourself with bus routes by consulting maps posted at any bus stop or Metro station. Pocket-sized maps are distributed free at the Metro. A superb guide to the system is Paris Bus, a pocket-sized booklet available at many bookstores. Helpful routes from the apartment are the 69 (one block away on rue Saint-Dominique), the 80 and 92 (both at Bosquet, just steps away). There is a copy of these bus routes in the apartment handbook.
METRO:
As with buses, Paris has the world's best and most comprehensive underground railway system. It is fast, frequent, easily navigated and inexpensive. However, keep in mind that one sees nothing but other Metro passengers, and the air is never fresh. Visitors who use only the Metro will have trouble getting to know Paris.
WALK OR RIDE A BIKE
Walk a lot and/or ride the Velib bikes. Paris begins to shrink when you are on foot or a bike. While the metro and buses can take you anywhere you miss a lot, it still is the best walking and bike riding city around.
