Location: Paris Arrondissement 6, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (Half a block to the Seine; across the river from the Louvre)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-5)

Our luxury apartment on the rue Bonaparte is in a district famous for its artists and writers. Manet was born up the street, Henry Miller stayed next door, and Picasso painted Guernica nearby. It is now a prime area for boutiques and antique dealers.

Two blocks down, you'll see the cafes that the Existentialists made famous and hear jazz musicians playing outside the Church of St. Germain des Pres. Yet the apartment, in a small eighteenth-century courtyard building, is remarkably quiet and private.

This 80-square-meter property (861 square feet) consists of a living room with sleeping alcove (the sofa converts to a double-size bed); a dining room with a table that seats 4-8 and a fully-wired study alcove; a bedroom with king-size bed and large separate dressing area; and a modern kitchen, bathroom, and toilet room. All four main rooms have windows with rooftop views, and there are two fireplaces as well as original moldings and distinctive French woodwork. It is furnished in antiques aside from bedding and comfortable chairs.

The Saint Germain Metro stop is a two-minute walk, the Mabillon stop is a minute further, and a bus across the street goes directly to Montmartre via the Louvre, the Opera, and Right Bank shopping districts. Notre Dame is a ten-minute walk.

We welcome tenants who want to rent for a month or longer and are also happy to accommodate singles and couples for a one-week minimum. An American agent who lives in Paris will greet you, help you with your luggage, and answer your questions.

This charming property is ideal for up to four people, but not for small children. It is located on the fourth floor, and while the views are great, we regrettably cannot accommodate wheelchairs as there is no elevator. Weekly cleaning and transportation to and from the airport are available.

Owner's Profile

Year Purchased: 2000

Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 6

I wanted a second home in Paris, in the heart of St Germain des Pres. I was lucky enough to find this apartment back in 2000 and rehabbed it over the next few years. I still live there three months a year (I am semi-retired academic) and rent it out the rest of the time.

The Unique Benefits of this Apartment

The apartment itself is very restful. I do a lot of writing there, looking up sometimes to see the pigeons on the neighboring roof and the view of the skyline. Then as soon as I leave the building, I am into the life of Left-Bank Paris. The contrast is exhilarating.

    • We returned last evening from an absolutely wonderful holiday!!! We totally enjoyed Sue's apartment and found it to be lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the salon amid the lovely antiques and other artifacts, eating in the dining room, and even working in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The location was unbeatable and we walked everywhere. Sue's agent was very organized and gave us a thorough tour upon our arrival. Our stay couldn't have been more perfect.

    • I have stayed in Sue's wonderful apartment twice. It is truly ideally located in the heart of Paris just down the block from Les Deux Margot and across the street from Laduree. There is also a Monoprix across the Blvd. Ste. Germaine that is very convenient to the apartment. The stairs up to the apartment can be a bit daunting the first day or two, but otherwise the apartment is fabulous in every way. Sue and her Paris managers are very helpful. I would not hesitate to stay here again...and again...and again!

    • I stayed in Sue's beautiful apartment on rue Bonaparte for one week. It is by far the prettiest and most spacious apartment that I have rented in Paris. The location is the best as it is in the heart of St. Germain des Pres and also within walking distance of the right bank, the Louvre etc. It is well equipped and furnished with gorgeous antiques. It was my great privilege to stay here and I would not hesitate to rent it again. There is also a wonderful manager who speaks english and will explain everything about the apartment. She is also available for help if it is needed. This is truly a very Parisian apartment with all the comforts of home.
