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.

just got home tonight Jonathan and wanted to tell you how much we loved your apartment in Paris and how wonderful Barbara was as well. We have good friends from NY who have been working in Paris a lot this year and were going to recommend your place to their parents so I'll let you know if anything comes of that. We'll pass the word around Detroit as well but all was lovely. Best, Sarah

Dear Jonathan, We are back from the trip to our hectic life but still have wonderful memories from our stay at your apartment in Paris. The apartment is in a perfect location, bright and full of light, very well designed - we could tell that a lot of thinking was invested in each detail. Also Barbara was nice and friendly. Thanks to your apartment we felt we have a home is Paris. We will be delighted to stay again there when we'll visit Paris and to recommend to all our friends that will be visiting Paris to stay there - we are sure that they will enjoy as well. Thank you again for the wonderful apartment and for all your useful advises. Best regards, Diana and Israel Laban

Dear Jonathan, I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you once again how much we all enjoyed your apartment and how perfect it is for the four of us. This year, we did not feel compelled to run from museum to museum. Instead, we spent a lot of time walking around the different neighborhoods stopping to share a bottle of wine along the way. We went to the Marche des Enfants Rouge for the first time and had a delicious Moroccan lunch. Yesterday, we went on a day trip to Giverny. But whatever we did, we always spent late afternoons back at the apartment drinking wine, and snacking on baguette, cheese, tapanade, etc. We would relax and refuel and then go out for the evening. Thank you so much for creating a space that is so comfortable for two couples. We are afforded the privacy we desire and the additional room to be together. Jamie and I are talking about taking our daughters to Paris some time during the year, probably in winter.If our plans come to fruition, we will definitely contact you about renting your apartment once again. Until then, Best Regards, Robin Cohen

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.

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.
