Furnished apartment and studio rentals in Paris Alésia Area.

An underground historic attraction

The main tourist attraction in the Alésia district can be found about 65 feet underground. This is the Paris Catacombs located by Place Denfert-Rochereau. Another interesting feature of Alésia is its architectural diversity: Haussmann-style buildings, single-family residences, post-war architecture, plaster facades, etc. The district also has a large number of artists' workshops. The famous painter Édouard Manet even depicted Alésia in his 1870 painting Effet de neige à Petit-Montrouge (Effect of Snow on Petit-Montrouge).

Transportation in the heart of the district

Metro line 4 runs through Alésia station in the very heart of the district. The station can be accessed near the centrally located Place Victor-et-Hélène Basch, which is dominated by the Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montrouge. Because it takes its name from the Battle of Alésia between Vercingetorix and Julius Caesar, the station was chosen for the animated movie The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. Everything you need can be found here: grocery stores, bakeries, pharmacies, transportation, etc.
