In South-east of Paris, on the right bank of the Seine river, the 12th arrondissement, full of green spaces for walks extends around the Place de la Bastille, a powerful symbol of the French Revolution. An opera house now replaces the old prison, transforming the site into a focal point of Parisian cultural life.

The most famous places known as being hustle and bustle areas of this mainly residential arrondissement are its two train stations (Gare de Lyon and Gare de Bercy) and its hospitals. The 145,000 inhabitants of the twelfth arrondissement and its many visitors appreciate the close proximity of the Bois de Vincennes and the impressive Promenade Plantée.
Why rent a furnished apartment in the 12th arrondissement? Because your accommodation will always be close to lovely relaxing areas (gardens, parks) which is welcome if you want to lodge in a big and dynamic city as Paris while staying in a breathable area, with relaxing areas close to you. On the other hand, a furnished flat has an advantage : the accommodation is already furnished, so you can move in quickly and enjoy your stay in Paris 12 immediately.
Offering all the advantages of city life alongside the extra benefits of its many wooded areas, Paris 12 is perfect for those who wish to live in the capital whilst also remaining close to nature. The four administrative quarters of the twelfth, Bel-Air, Picpus, Bercy and the Quinze-Vingts quarter offer plenty of residential options for those who wish to stay in the greenest arrondissement of Paris! Though most of the available accommodation is two- and three-bedroom apartments, large families wishing to live in the twelfth will also be able to find living spaces of 100 square metres or more.
Unlike the busy streets around La Place de la Bastille and La Gare de Lyon, residential areas which are near the ring road, to the south and east, are rather quiet neighbourhoods. The Bel-Air quarter is adjacent to the verdant Bois de Vincennes, whilst the Parc de Bercy, naturally, lies within the Bercy quarter. The residents of Paris 12 also have the use of two swimming pools, plus many primary and secondary schools, including the well-known École Boulle and a range of vocational training schools (schools for training specialist lawyers, bakers, confectioners...). Thanks to its five public and private hospitals, Paris 12 has an ample supply of medical help to call upon within its boundaries. And finally, though cyclists are always pleased to take advantage of the 12th arrondissement's many bike lanes, pedestrians can move around just as easily via seven métro lines, by taking the RER A line, or by using the area's bus and tram network. We also offer apartment rentals near the Porte de Vincennes or Porte Doree.
Renting an apartment in Paris XII, -if it's not gonna make you a change of scenery-, could surprise you. The 12th district of Paris is, indeed, one of the only neighborhood of Paris being so vegetated. Although the district is calm and residential in some areas, it's still a vibrant area, in which you'll be able to move yourself easily, and that, regardless of your accommodation's location.
