Stylish 2BR/2BA Apt Near Place Des Vosges
- Minimum stay:4-6 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This light-filled, two-bedroom, two-bath apartment is perfectly located near the historic Place des Vosges. We completed an extensive renovation in December, 2006, and everything - from floor to ceiling and every point in between - has been thoroughly updated to a very high standard.
Tournelles2 pairs wonderful modern design with classic features reflecting the building's XIX century roots, and succeeds in being both elegant and comfortable. The apartment's parquet floors, high ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful moldings are lit by fabulous and fun chandeliers in the entry, kitchen, and living areas, and warmed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling draperies. It has been decorated and equipped thoughtfully, with many conveniences and amenities. Please read our guest comments to see how others have enjoyed this apartment.
The apartment: Tournelles2 has a wonderful layout (see photos below), with well thought out public and private areas. The light streams in from two sides through tall French windows, highlighting the openness of the sleek and well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining area, and inviting living room. Classic modern furniture is balanced by original fabrics and colorful art work. And, when night falls, the lovely lighting and furnishings provide incentive to dine in - even though the area’s many wonderful cafes and restaurants will beckon.
Tournelles2 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 have also equipped Tournelles2 with a laptop computer so you do not have to lug yours along.
The amenities: In addition, the apartment comes with its own off-site manager, a wonderful and knowledgeable Parisian fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. In addition to making sure Apartment Tournelles2 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.
Le Marais: The neighborhood: 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. The Marais is also a gourmet's delight—the apartment is near several of Paris’ best open air markets and specialty food stores, and within easy walking of a wide range of dining choices. To help you get acquainted, Apartment Tournelles2 is equipped with numerous guidebooks and maps, as well as information on our favorite places to shop, eat, and sight see in the neighborhood. We provide a complete binder with directions on how to use all of the appliances, lots of neighborhood resources, and general Paris information.

We had the great pleasure of spending a month in this terrific apartment. It was truly a home away from home in Paris. The apartment is beautiful, light filled and is well appointed with a great kitchen and really nice bathrooms. The locations is perfect, ideally situated between Bastille and Republique. Cheryl and Pam were great and having Amele available to answer questions was a great bonus. If the apartment is available, we will stay here whenever we go to Paris. It is wonderful!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

The apartment was clean, bright and very functional! Availability of the computer and Vonage phone kept us connected with family at home on a daily basis. The apartment was just a block away from a bakery, train station, shops and restaurants. We felt we were part of a neighborhood, rather than a tourist in a big city. We felt very comfortable there, everyone was friendly and helpful, and Parisians made an effort to understand our limited French and were fun people. we hope to return to this apartment sometime in the future.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

The apartment, its amenities and its location (on the edge of the Marias) make this an ideal headquarters for visiting the City of Light. Not to mention the care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism of the owners, I have spent a lot of time in Paris, but always stayed on the Left Bank. However, the next time for me will be in the Right Bank and, hopefully, in this apartment.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Couldn't have been a better spot for our Christmas week in Paris. Welcomed to the apt with wine, flowers, coffee, and other basics--really a nice touch after an 11 hour flight. Very well appointed, incredibly comfortable space, nicely sized rooms, a very nicely put together space. Perfect location on a quiet but very convenient street, a very "Paris" feel. Amele, the local manager, is a gem, very helpful and knowledgeable. We especially appreciated the binder of Paris ideas, restaurants, transportation and we can personally attest that the very best croissant in Paris really is 3 blocks away! From arrival to departure, a magical experience. Next Paris trip, we'll book here again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

We loved the apartment. The rooms were larger that expected. The beds were comfy.Wonderful cafes just steps away so we had fresh croissants and coffee in the comfort of the well appointed kitchen before starting out on our sightseeing trips. It was in an excellent location. We walked to Seine and Notre Dame from there. It is also close to 2 Metro Stations and we were able to get around Paris with ease. Would stay there again should we return to Paris.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This apartment was exactly as described, very clean and spacious; my friend and I loved each of us having our own bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. Having a computer and free wi-fi was very convenient so we did not have to bring our own. Upon arrival, there were flowers, a bottle of wine and the basics in the kitchen. It is in a good location to reach just about any place you would want to. We loved the market at the Bastille and the Place the Vosges. Everyone in the neighborhood was very friendly especially the people at Bistro Populaire just around the corner from the apartment. The owners, Pam and Cheryl, were very easy to work with and very responsive to all of our needs. Amele, our French connection, is a gem!Owner response: We so appreciate this client's kind words....and we really love to hear that our clients appreciate Amele, our Paris manager, as much as we do. Thanks!

I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching apartments. If you are also, stop now- this apartment is fabulous! It is perfect for two couples. Two bedroom/two bathroom (one a little bigger but equally comfortable), can hear some street noise but can't hear the other couple in the apartment- great privacy. Beautifully furnished, clean and bright. So nice to "go home" at the end of the day instead of to cramped hotel room. Photos on website right on. Pam and Cheryl very easy to work with, helpful info before trip and loads of info in apt. So nice having free phone calls to US and free WiFi. Trip recommendations: get the Museum Pass. Normandy/D-day day trip phenomenal. Marais street market on Sunday and one week day terrific.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

The location is extremely convenient, yet just far enough out that it does not feel touristy. Just a couple minute walk to the Bastille and you have easy access to all major sights via the Metro line #1 or hop on bus #69 for a ride with stops near most everything of interest. Bakeries and restaurants abound and grocery shopping is nearby, we never went a morning without fresh baguettes. Be sure not to miss the open air market at the Bastille on Sunday, you can pick-up all your tourist trinkets at a fraction the cost of the shops (we haggled for 30-50% off all handmade goods) and then get fresh fruits, vegetables and meats for dining in. We acted like tourists and lived like Parisians at this excellent apartment.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: Two San Francisco families own this beautiful apartment and its adjacent 'sister'. One family has two small children. We traveled to Paris in the winter of 2006 to research buying property, and came home 10 days later as Paris apartment owners. Our dream is to live in Paris, and having these apartments get us one step closer to that. We renovated, decorated, and equipped these apartments based on our prior experiences with vacation rentals in the US and Europe, and hope that you will enjoy all of the amenities and small touches that we have provided. We travel to Paris as often as we can to make sure the apartments stay in top shape. Our goal is to give you a wonderful place to stay, and have you love Paris as much as we do.
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 3:
We love the Marais...it is central to everything, yet retains a neighborhood feel. We love walking out the door and being steps away from fabulous bakeries, restaurants, museums, and great shopping. Paris is a great walking city, and our apartment provides easy access to so much of it. We also love the location because the Paris Metro (subway system) is so close and so easy to use. We also love the Marais because of its history and diversity...from the elegant Place des Vosges to rue des Rosiers' Jewish delis to rue des Archives' gay friendly bars and stores---everyone can feel at home in the Marais.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Some of our favorite things to do revolve around cooking and eating! We love being just across the street from the twice-weekly Bastille farmers market, and within easy walking distance to two other historic markets on rue des Bretagnes and at Place d'Aligre. And we can never stay at our place and not stop for a meal at Chez Janou, a block away, making sure we save room for their incredible bowl of chocolate mousse! We also love that a short walk takes us to and across the Seine, to Notre Dame and the Left Bank, and never get tired of window shopping along rue des Francs Bourgeois' chic boutiques,or walking under Place des Vosges' magnificent arches.
Our other favorite past time is exploring Paris' various neighborhoods or arrondisements. The fact that we're so close to the 2nd, 4th, 10th, 11th, and 12th facilitates our 'expeditions.' As in our home city, San Francisco, it is the neighborhoods away from the tourist areas that give one a great perspective on the city and its people---and, just like San Francisco, the best food at the best prices are found in the neighborhoods!
