Any visit to Paris involves striking a balance between the monumental (Champs Elysses, Eiffel Tower, etc.) and the human-scale (the boulangers and markets, corner bistros and cafes) aspects of the city. In purchasing our second home in what we like to call the "Back of the Butte" quarter—an area that has managed to preserve much of its original charm and village-like atmosphere—we think we've struck an ideal balance between the two.

As mentioned above, this is not a rental "property" but rather was purchased and furnished as our second home. At present we can't come to Paris as often as we'd like, and so share it with other lovers of Paris and things Parisian when we can't be there ourselves.

The apartment is 45 square meters (~500 square feet) in size–quite comfortable for one or two, or for a couple and a third person. It consists of a living room with dining alcove, a separate bedroom, a (newly renovated) bathroom, a W.C. room, an entry hall, and a kitchen. To learn more please click the link further down on this page, which will take you to the apartment's website.

We're on a beautiful residential street in a quiet, non-touristic section of Montmartre, a few minutes' walk behind (to the north of) Sacre Coeur, three flights up in a secure, well-maintained building. The living room looks out on a small tree-shaded square, the bedroom and kitchen on a quiet courtyard. There are beautiful original hardwood floors in the living room bedroom and entry hall (along with several oriental rugs) and ample closet and storage space. (Plus (ta-dah!) a completely renovated bathroom!)

There is superb food shopping on the nearby rue Caulaincourt, plus a six-day-a-week outdoor market a few minutes’ walk beyond. The Montmartre Vineyard, the Lapin Agile Cabaret, and the streets and byways of Old Montmartre are literally just around the corner, yet most of the people you’ll see in the nearby streets and shops are not tourists, but rather those who live in the area. Over the years we’ve vacationed or lived in many different quarters of Paris, and have fallen in love with the charm, convenience and village-like atmosphere of this very special part of the city…and hope you will too.

All of the furniture was purchased new for our personal use, and is comfortable and of high quality. There is a dining table that seats six, a comfortable queen-size bed with Sealy mattress, a convertible sofa, original artwork by friends, a color TV with a DVD player and cable connection (giving access to CNN, Bloomberg, BBC, etc. in addition to a host of French channels), a wideband computer connection, and a Yamaha hi-fi system (not a boom box) with FM tuner and CD player. Plus ~50 CDs, and ~100 books about art, Paris, and French history.

There's also a regular telephone line -- which not only makes it more convenient for you to make calls, but also allows others, anywhere in the world, to quickly and easily reach you.

The kitchen is in a separate room and is fully equipped, with a four-burner cooktop, a microwave oven, a countertop oven, and a serious “batterie de cusine”. (Also in the kitchen are a clothes washing machine and a dryer.)

There is excellent transportation to other parts of town. The Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro station is a two minute walk away along the rue Lamarck, in addition to which five bus lines (31, 60, 80, 85, and the Montmartrobus) pass nearby. Again, please see our webpage for more information.

There is no smoking in the apartment, and pets are not allowed. References are available on request. (Over the years many of our guests have returned for second and even third visits.)
