Staying around Carmes and Rue des Teinturiers
Check which end of this quarter your accommodation occupies. Place des Carmes sits north of Rue des Teinturiers, so two addresses described as being in the same area can give you different walks home. Cobblestones along the stream also make a difference with luggage. Choose your route from the station using the exact entrance, rather than the neighborhood label.
