neighborhood similar to Rue Cler

I%26#39;ve stayed on Rue Cler. Are there any other neighborhoods in central Paris with similar (reasonable) lodging and eateries? I loved the homey feel there, and easy access to metro and many museums.



I%26#39;m looking to book something for mid-March, so fast help will be appreciated.



thanks.

Try Rue Montorgueil or Rue des Martyrs - both have market streets (less touristy than rue Cler - esp. rue des Martyrs). Many hotels in the 9th and you can walk or take metro line 12 which crosses Paris N-S.



Rue Montorgueil is very central and wonderful. Metro les Halles - bus 29 and others.

Another option is around the Lamarck Caulincourt Metro station on the nortside of Monmartre.





There are numerous apartments.

Rue de Levis in the 17th is an excellent market street and lot more Parisian than rue Cler IMO. It%26#39;s also just a short walk to Parc de Monceau, a beautiful park off the tourist track.




|||



The Parisians hate the rue Cler area so much that the Mairie of the 7th is working on a plan to change the street%26#39;s layout.




|||



Rue Daguerre in the 14th is quite similar but much more authentic.

rue de buci, rue de seine, rue dauphine or rue de hauchette. Google map these streets and you will see. Rue de Buci and seine are so much like rue cler, minus the cobbled stone streets. Although rue de buci has more shops, cafe and lovely, trendy people.

rue Daguerre is by far the best. The street is fantastic with all kinds of gems lurking around the corners. The people are mostly locals and you%26#39;re still close to the city center.




|||



I%26#39;m not sure I would include rue de la Huchette, aka %26quot;Bacteria Alley%26quot; in the list.

Wigwam,you are right about the %26quot;Bacteria Alley%26quot;, but still I would recommend to visit the area and around st. severin (spelling?). This would fit the %26quot;reasonable%26quot; criteria. Its like Chinatown in Manhattan, except instead of chinese, they are Europeans. Lots of eateries, from Turkish to French food.
