Place Gambetta is in a neighbourhood of leafy avenues and shopping streets bubbling with character in the 20th district of Paris, with a close-knit village feel just 15 minutes from the world-famous attractions of downtown Paris, such as the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Pompidou Centre, and equally well-placed to visit the Sacré Coeur and the enchanting Montmartre, a short metro ride. The location is very convenient for travellers coming into Paris from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.

For a night out, head for the area around Rue Oberkampf (metro: Oberkampf, line 9) and its extensive array of bars, clubs and restaurants, or why not try out the Belleville quarter's sprinkling of superb value Middle Eastern or South East Asian eateries? (Metro: Belleville, line 11), all this within reach in less than 10 minutes. Within walking distance is the Père Lachaise cemetery, the resting place of several eminent cultural and historical figures and worthy of an afternoon's visit or go the Buttes Chaumont park for a "promenade". It's a quintessentially Parisian neighbourhood.

It's close to the lively Bastille area, and offers direct transport links to the city's major tourist attractions and areas of interest. Additionally you can link up with RER regional train services to Disneyland Paris from Place de la Nation.
The neighbourhood is authentically Parisian, boasting a wide range of cafés, shops and street markets and is the ideal choice for visiting the City of Lights.

For major sporting events head for the Palais Omnisports. Explore the Bercy Village shopping and leisure complex on the banks of the Seine, or lose yourself in the immense Bois de Vincennes park, where the flower gardens and beautiful chateau merit your attention. All this just 15 minutes' metro ride. Chatelet, Les Halles, the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre and Notre Dame Cathedral are also a brief 20 minute journey.
