Location: Paris Arrondissement 3, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (MARAIS - PARIS)
Accommodations: Paris Vacation Rental - Marais, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
The apartment is located in the heart of the Marais, within a few minutes walk of some of Paris’ most significant attractions. The Place De Vosges, Picasso and Carnavalet Museums are all within touching distance of the front door. Indeed the area is France’s largest historical district and home to a 700 year old Jewish quarter. But the Marais is no ghetto, its 17th Century architecture acting as a stunning backdrop to one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. An area which boasts some of Paris’ finest restaurants and cafes and which poses a challenge to even the most serious and sophisticated of shoppers.
In keeping with its historic surroundings, the apartment is located on the second floor of ‘Hôtel Herouet’, one of the Marais’ ‘Hôtel Particuliers’. These ‘Hôtel’ were the smart townhouses built and occupied by the aristocracy, intellectuals and nobility of Paris’ 17th Century court. The unit, one of only five apartments in the building, is accessed through large wooden doors on the street and then via the sanctuary of a private courtyard. The unusual triple aspect of the apartment and its floor to ceiling windows provide an abundance of light and tranquillity. Whilst the rich hues of the traditional walnut floor and comfortable furniture give the apartment a warm and intimate feel.
Although the 17th Century beams and other period features have been lovingly retained, the apartment was completely remodelled by a leading Paris architect in 2006. The unit includes 2 marble bathrooms with power showers, 2 walk-in closets, air-conditioning and a luxurious kitchen. A fully equipped utility room includes separate Miele washer and dryer. Bath and bed linens are of the finest quality and have been specially selected and imported from London.
The space is tailor made for a group of friends or young family to sample life at the heart of this unique pre-revolutionary quarter of Paris. The apartment comfortably sleeps six with two double bedrooms with king sized beds and a double sofa bed designed for everyday use. A 36”plasma TV, DVD, cable TV, high speed wireless internet and free calls to fixed lines in over 70 countries (including US, Canada, Australia and UK) are the finishing touches that combine the privacy and comforts of home with an historic Parisian setting.

I've been meaning to write to you since Paris and time has escaped me until now. Thank you very much for the apartment; it was great! We were all really happy with it: perfect location, beautiful building, incredibly comfortable beds and bedding - all in all, positive comments ad infinitum! I have already passed the word on to friends.

Jonathan, Your apartment is so lovely! You did a fantastic job renovating, maximum usage of space, great combination of old and new. Beds were very comfortable as was the bedding and linens. Loved the huge windows throughout. The bathrooms were perfect. The whole apartment was spotless. Could have stayed for a year! Aurevoir et Merci, Fraide , Rachel, and Alix

Had a wonderful time and the apartment was so much better than a small hotel room. We will tell any friends going to Paris how great it was and they can get in touch. Thanks again for all the help! Do you have anything in Germany?

We're on our way out to CDG this morning, and wanted to thank you for renting your fantastic apartment to us. We had a magical week with 40 RdFB as our home base. Barbara was helpful getting us settled, your various tips and tricks were priceless, and we're already plotting our return.

I'm just looking at our Paris photos on my computer and was thinking that it was high time to email you! We had a wonderful time in Paris and the apartment was wonderful. Linens from The White Company - heaven! I loved the way it's been done up and the location is absolutely perfect. I've already recommended it to several friends.
