Noisiest street in Paris

This really takes the biscuit.

I walked down rue de Lappe in Bastille, the notorious street celebrated for it's vie nocturne and lined with bars. Frankly, it's main claim to fame is that's it's probably the noisiest in Paris (at least Wednesday through Saturday).

I once stayed at an apartment here and even though it was well insulated against (normal) noise and set back off the street I was awake all night listening to street brawls, lovers tiffs and people throwing up.

I spotted a "For Sale" sign half-way down, right above a Corsican bar, an apartment on the first floor. Being inside must have felt like actually being in the bar itself, minus the drageurs who also frequent this area.

I couldn't help myself from calling up and just see what the Real Estate agent would ask for such a little gem. Over 9000 euro per m². Choke! It's a 45m² 2 room apartment. Who could possibly want such a property? I don't care how many hanging baskets full of geraniums they've hung up.
