Ile St. Louis is perhaps the most special spot in the most special city in the world. The island is only six blocks long and two blocks wide. This quaint little island, with no subway stop, is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Three metro lines however, can easily be reached by crossing the appropriate bridge to the Left or Right Banks. You will be one of a community of about 6,000, surrounded by 16th and 17th century mansions, with their beautiful stone-paved courtyards, fashionable shops and terrific restaurants.
The most famous ice cream shop in Paris, Berthillon, is a few seconds away and the Seine River is at your doorstep! Each time you cross the Pont de la Tournelle, on the way to the continent, as the locals like to say, you will have a breathtaking view of Notre Dame that will leave you dazzled. The Latin Quarter on the Left Bank and the Marais on the Right Bank, are just short strolls away. This is truly the heart of Paris!
The apartment is located in a beautiful 17th Century building on the Ile Saint Louis, on the banks of the Seine River, in a small and very quiet street and right next to the lively rue Saint-Louis en l'Ile with stores, boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
The building has a magnificent entrance with old cobblestones. The apartment has old French oak floors and is tastefully furnished with antics such as Henri II dressers, game and round tables Regency table, Louis XVI desk and Napoleon dresser. It has been completely remodeled a couple of years ago!
Thanks to it's over 3 feet thick walls, the apartment keeps cool during Summer. In addition, 2 Air Conditioning unit provides a fresh breeze, if needed.

We rented this property for the month of December, and it was a great home base to stage our explorations of Paris from. The Marais is just a short walk to the north with a lot of great food shops and other shopping, and the island itself has one of the best butchers in Paris not far from the apartment. The rooms are decently sized and the kitchen is stocked with whatever you might need for cooking dinner. The apartment has it's own WiFi (not shared) and an iPad was provided for us to use to look things up on the internet. There's also a voip phone on which you can make free calls to the US! Sauveur and Dominic were very helpful in getting everything arranged and showing us how to use all the appliances in the apartment. The apartment was in great shape on our arrival, and there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us! When I come back to Paris, I would certainly consider staying here again.

The Hubs and I, plus our 2 friends, had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks in this quiet and quaint apartment on the oh so charming Ile St. Louis. It was the perfect home base for easy walking tours in The Marais, The Latin Quarter, and beyond. Hearing the bells at Notre Dame was an added bonus. Metro stops nearby, tons of great restaurants right outside your door (try the jambon et fromage crepe at the stand at the end of the block!), and a beautiful view outside your living room window. Perfect for 2 couples or a small family!

Spring time in Paris

We stayed here with our two teenagers 13 and 15. The apartment was perfect - clean, great central location and quiet. It was great to go back to our own place after touring the city all day. The view was amazing! Also there were so many restaurants with in a block of the apartment. That was wonderful when the kids did not want to come out to eat with us one night and we just went around the block and had an amazing meal. There are so many shops around the corner too. We felt comfortable letting the kids walk around the block to explore our little neighborhood in Paris. We were on a 10 day trip seeing 3 countries so we were able to do a little bit of laundry here too.

What can I add? You step outside of your home-away-from home on the Ile Saint Louis, and the first thing you see is the serene Seine and a dramatic view of Notre Dame. You are within walking distance of some of the finest eating, shopping, and sightseeing I've ever experienced. Sauveur's apartment is cozy and lovingly appointed, situated in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in all of Paris. Everything we needed was available within reach. We were four adults in this two-bedroom abode, and could not have been more comfortable. This is the second time we have stayed in one of Sauveur's rentals and there is not one thing we would change. The challenge now is to figure out how to get Sauveur to adopt us. Thank you from a grateful San Francisco family.

Clean-great hot water pressure. Everything you need. Sleeping 6 would be a stretch w 1 bathroom. Elevator does not go to the apt-you have to drag your bags up a flight.
Owner response:The elevator does not stop at the second floor, but at the 3rd floor and on. The apartment is indeed comfortable for 4 persons ( 4 twins, 2 queens, or 1 queen + 2 twins). It is possible to have one or 2 more persons sleeping in the living room in a brand new full size sofa bed.

Bon soir Sauveur, I am very sad. I miss Paris and your wonderful apartment. The four of us loved our apartment on Boutarel. The boulangerie, fromagery, crepery, glace, market, and atm were just steps away from the apartment. You provided all the cookware and dishes so that we were able to cook our own meals most of the time which saved us lots of $. It was nice to have two separate bedrooms and living room. There was plenty of space for all of us. We had lovely breezes off the Seine. I couldn't believe I could walk out of the apartment and there was Notre Dame. The view was breathtaking. Thank you for providing the internet access and long distance phone service. No one has ever given us such amenities. It truly felt like home. I hope to come back to your "City of Light" someday and would love to stay on Boutarel again. Thank Dominique for me. I appreciated his help so much! All the best, Lori W

Our family of 5 had a lovely "parisian" experience at the apartment. It was in a great location situated on a tiny street between the Seine and the main street of Ile St Louis (where there were some fantastic shops). The bakery around the corner was perfect for our morning pastries and the supermarket is less than 1 minute walk away (we even let the kids wander down there!). The apartment had everything we needed and it was wonderful to look out the window onto the river. It was an easy walk to either of the 2 metro stations close by. A very French experience which we recommend.
