Guests rave about this beautiful Marais apartment, completely renovated in mid-2006 to the highest standards (see the on-line guestbook). Perfectly located in the 3rd arrondisement just three blocks from both the Place des Vosges and the Picasso Museum, Apartment Tournelles1 is in a lovely and well maintained XIX century building. Everything in this apartment has been updated, from the plumbing and electrical to the tasteful furnishings and decor.

Unusual to Paris, Apartment Tournelles1 features two equally well-appointed bedrooms, each with comfortable queen-sized beds and en suite modern bathrooms! The well-thought out layout of Apartment Tournelles1 maximizes the living spaces and, for privacy, creates excellent separation between the bedrooms (see the layout photo below).

In addition to the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, Apartment Tournelles1 features a separate tiled kitchen with all new appliances, and a light and airy living/dining room. While the many neighborhood restaurants and wine bars will beckon, the well-furnished kitchen also invites you to bring food home from the nearby open-air markets and wonderful foodstores.

Unwind on the comfortable leather couch in the living/dining room after a day of exploring the Marais and surrounding neighborhoods. High ceilings, tall windows, original moldings and wood floors, a black crystal chandelier, stylish furnishings, lovely art and a quiet street below--this wonderful vacation retreat has all the ambience of old Paris combined with the best modern comforts and conveniences.

The apartment is on the first floor French (second floor American), easily accessible by a wide and gently curved staircase. It of course comes with every amenity---flat screen TV with cable, DVD, phone with free calling to 28 countries, washer/dryer, free WIFI, heated towel racks, etc. We've also equipped it with a laptop computer so you don't have to lug yours along, and a cell phone for your use while staying at the apartment.

In addition, the apartment comes with its own off-site host, a wonderful and knowledgeable Parisian fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. In addition to making sure Apartment Tournelles1 is ready for your arrival with fresh flowers, coffee, a bottle of wine, water, milk and other staples, our Parisian host can assist you with any questions about the apartment or general information about Paris.

Tournelles1, and its adjacent sister apartment, Tournelles2, is in the midst of the Marais, one of Paris's most historic, most beautiful, and most desirable neighborhoods. From French history to French chic, the Marais has it all. To help you get acquainted, Apartment Tournelles1 is equipped with numerous guidebooks and maps, as well as information on our favorite places to shop, eat, and sight see in the neighborhood. Also, we provide a complete binder, with directions on how to use all of the appliances, lots of neighborhood resources, and general Paris information.

While it is easy to spend all your time in the Marais, many other Paris attractions, including the Louvre, the Seine, Notre Dame, and the Left Bank are in easy walking distance of Apartment Tournelles1. And, when you're ready to get off your feet, several Metro stops are conveniently nearby (Chemin Vert is less than a block away, and Bastille is less than a five minute walk).

The all-inclusive weekly rental fee covers high quality linens and towels, and one cleaning. While weekly rentals are preferred, don't hesitate to ask us about rates for shorter or longer stays. No smoking or pets are allowed.

Tournelles2 is an equally beautiful adjacent 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment that can be rented separately or in conjunction with Tournelles1. Its vrbo reference number is 114205.

  • We had the good fortune to stay in both Tournelle 1 and 2 on our trip. Both apartments are wonderful and even better are the thoughtful touches like the stocked refrigerator, fresh flowers, wine and the laptops with internet access to make planning our days so easy. This was our 4th rental in Paris and by far the best experience. Great location, great space, great landlords. We hope to be back soon!

  • We enjoyed staying at this wonderful apartment for three weeks, December-January this year. We found this place comfortable and convienent to our visit. Taxi, bus and metro all close by, making getting around very easy. The apartment was most comfortable and pleasant, there were two couples and we each had our bedroom and bath. The kitchen and living room, along with the washer/dryer made for easy living. We could walk a block for fresh bread in the morning and within 5 blocks were wonderful places to eat lunch and dinner. We had a great time. We will be back! Thanks.

  • This was our first experience with an apartment rental. Pam & Cheryl made it very easy to rent the unit and all the instructions were well thought-out. Because we have a 2-yr old child, the apartment suit us very well with amenities such as a crib (in the 2nd bedroom), refrigerator, and a washer/dryer. The area we stayed was close to the metro and some great landmarks. We would definitely do this again for our next trip to Paris.

  • The word 'fabulous' says it all: the apartment is what dream trips are made of. It is well-located, well-decorated, comfortable, classy, with all the amenities necessary for a wonderful stay in Paris. THANK YOU for everything you have done to make this rental feel like a home away from home! I can't wait to return.

  • The apartment is as lovely as pictured on VRBO if not more so. It certainly suited the needs of two ladies "of a certain" age for our stay in Paris. Amele was wonderful, and we are certain everyone who stays at your place can attest to that. We are among the many of your guests who would not think of coming to Paris again without staying at Tournelles1. The apartment was so like a home and the area is just perfect for anything we needed or wanted. Thank you so much for letting us share your apartment in Paris.

  • I met my daughter and her mother-in-law in Paris for a week March 22-27, 2009, and had a fabulous time. The apartment was great, very convenient to Bastille, which was walking distance, and the Metro which was about a block away. It was very clean, in a safe neighborhood and the amenities were great - having a furnished computer, free phone service to the US, a kitchen, washer/dryer, etc. were so much more than we would have had in a hotel room. We would definitely stay there again and recommend this apartment.

  • We would certainly recommend this apartment rental. 2BR/2BA Modern kitchen. Nicely furnished with W/D. Computer to use as well as phone(free to United States). We were welcomed with fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, and eggs & milk to get us started. This apartment has a super location, close to the Metro, but the neighborhood has wonderful shops & bakeries. Their is a book the owners have compiled with a list of neighborhood restaurants, we ate at 2 and had wonderful meals. We can't wait to go back. Steve & Sally Rothstein Shavertown, Pa

  • Bonjour Cheryl and Pam, My Parisian vacation was just magical, thanks to your wonderful apartments! Luxurious, best location, convenient to everything. We rented both Tournelle 1 AND 2 for our family reunion (4bd/4ba) and it was so luxurious, truly our home away from home. I checked out at least 100 rentals and yours was above and beyond my expectations. A-1 location, boulangerie, cafes, Metro & grocery store all within a block. Feels like Soho in NYC or No Beach in SF - hip, vibrant and a lot of fun. The apt decor is French chic, modern kitchen and bathrooms with great lighting, the beds were extremely comfortable. So many european rentals are grotty looking with sagging beds, beds in places that have no business being offered as a sleeping area, disgusting furnishings. I am pleased to have found Tournelle 1 AND 2. Oh, the use of the computer and cell phones in your apts took a lot of stress out of planning. We will definitely return and have recommended them to our friends. Thanks again, for making our Paris vacation a fabulous memory! Best Regards, Debbie Hemingway, San Francisco, CA

  • This is a wonderful apt, beautifully equipped and convenient to all of Paris! Since we were 2 couples traveling together, we enjoyed being able to meet in the living room to plan our day and relax together. One of us would run out to the corner boulangerie for croissant while another made coffee. We even cooked dinner in one night (with the exchange rate, it was a great savings and, frankly, was the best meal we ate in Paris!) We particularly appreciated the notebook full of advice and directions and all of the wonderful guide books. The use of a laptop and telephone were also greatly appreciated! The apt is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood near a several metro stops and interesting sites....don't miss the Picasso Museum! What more can we say? It was magnifique!

  • This is a delightful apartment less than 2 blocks from the Metro. In 3 days we were able to see the Lourve twice, Versailles, Notre Dame, St Chapelle, Rodin, d'Orsay, d'Orangerie, Eiffel, and the Arc! We rode to and from the airport with no hassle at all. Finally, a phone with free access to the states and a laptop with internet made it very convenient to stay in touch! I highly recommend.
