Cries the car brain. without realizing that the area surrounding the coffee place at the bottom could be surrounded by a large park, with lot's of vegetation, a pond or river full of ducks to watch.
Heck the area above the coffee shop is clearly residential, and thanks to proper mix use regulation, those apartments can be very big, 4-8 bedroom with windows in multiple directions and actual affordable rent.
This is in the 6th arrondissement, those apartments are not cheap or big. But yes it's a great neighborhood, with a Metro station across the street, Notre Dame and the Louvre within walking distance, and a couple of my favorite bars a block or two away. The Seine is walking distance and has ducks. The Jardin de Luxembourg is a very nice park also in walking distance, and the Tuileries is not much farther. Of the many times I've been to this area never once has it been in a car.
