Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 6
Paris will be always Paris. The 6th arrondissement is arguably the most Parisian district in Paris. It's centrally located, with easy access to Versailles, Fontainebleau, Giverny and the Monet Garden, the airport, train stations, with myriads of cafés, shops, bookstores, museums, galleries, restaurants, clubs, wine stores, antique shops, supermarkets, etc...
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
We love that we can go shopping and sightseeing and come back to the apartment to rest before heading out again. It's so easy and convenient! We are also very fond of "our garden", the Luxembourg where we like to sit, read, talk or visit with our friends.
Le Bon Marche ("the good market", or "the good deal" in French) is the name of one of the most famous department stores in Paris. It is sometimes regarded as the first department store in the world.
The Luxembourg station from where the train takes you directly to CDG AIRPORT.
MONOPRIX is a great supermarket! 31 rue du Depart 75014 PARIS Tel : 01.43.20.69.30 Open until 10 PM weekdays Saturdays until 9 PM.
Contrary to allegations, the line in the floor is not a vestige of a pagan temple. No such temple ever existed in this place. It was never called a Rose-Line.
It's an area located around the church of the former Abbey of Saint-Germain-des Pres. Home to a number of famous cafes, such as Les Deux Magots et Le FLore, made famous by the Existentialists.

This property is just what you are looking for in a temporary Paris home. The space is comfortable, the area charming and quiet, and the location central. My husband and I spent 8 days here and didn't want to leave. The local apartment manager is prompt, fluent in English, and available for any questions. Overall our trip was enhanced by having this little nook all our own for a few days - would happily stay here again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car.

Our stay eleven days at end of May 2011 was excellent. Apartment was clean, convenient, charming. We did not have a car and were able to take Metro or Batobus or walk everywhere. We had not been back to Paris for many years so having Franck available for questions or assistance if necessary was valuable. The notes furnished regarding the apartment and location of shops and cafes conveniently located gave us a quick orientation. We would stay again and recommend to our friends.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

The location for this apartment was perfect for me as I was enrolled at Academie de la Grande Chamiere for art studies. It was 10 minutes walk for me each morning. The apartment has wonderful light with 3 pairs of French doors and a large sky light. The bathroom was also well lit by natural light and the shower was indeed better than the one I have at home. The bed was good and the sofa bed was as well. Very comfortable seating in the living area. An asset, a fine asset for this apartment is Franck, the manager, consierge. He was always attentive to all needs and I felt was a "safety net" to a person living a month in Paris. I was very perturbed with no oven or micro when I arrived but by the third week I had adjusted. I liked the apartment. And it was very secure, very safe. I would stay there again...

We had another wonderful week at this clean, comfortable, and charming apartment. We stayed here two years ago and it was like coming home. Pary is so accommodating and Franck was so helpful. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we come to Paris--which we hope will be again soon. Thank you Pary! We tried a few different area restaurants this time and they were all very good: La Maison du Jardin, Les Papilles, and La Boussole. Some year we may decide to take the RER from/to the airport but it was a welcome treat to have Franck arrange the taxis for us. The free WIFI is a very nice touch and we were glad that we brought our laptop with us. The location is perfect--quiet area yet easy to walk many places or take the bus or metro. Merci encore, Pary et Franck ~
Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments! It is always a pleasure to welcome you to our place. We also appreciate the restaurant recommendation. We are adding them to the list. Merci et à bientot!

Review Submitted: 01/20/11
In this cozy, quiet, apartment with widows overlooking both a private courtyard and the Rue Madame, one could forget they are so nearby all the busy sights and sounds of the city of Paris. With the expansive Luxembourg Gardens only a block away, and so many destinations within easy walking, this was the perfect location to be "home away from home" for our visit. The metro nearby and many conveniences included wonderful cafes, patisseries, boulangeries, grocers, shops, and cinema. Great communications from the start. The owner, Pary, promptly and with great hospitality provided all the information needed for our booking. Our contact in Paris, Franck, went above and beyond - even with unavoidable airline/weather delays - to accommodate our arrival to greet us and see that we were situated in the apartment. The space was clean, very comfortable, with all amenities. Modern equipped kitchen and bath with a generous full-sized shower and lovely furnishings. Skylights and high ceilings with exposed beams provided light and spacious feeling. Thanks to Pary and to Franck for making our stay in Paris so welcoming and easy! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Owner response:We try our best and we are very lucky to work with Franck, our onsite manager.

We really enjoyed Paris' neighborhoods, shops, food and wine, and people while "living" at this convenient, spacious apartment. Pary made this first experience with VRBO a very positive one before we left home, and Franck was a wonderful resource, and very helpful and respectful while there. The St. Germain area was fabulous!

When April 24-May 1, 2010, 1 week Location In Paris, 6th arrondissement, Rue Madame apartment, an excellent location for walking in Paris. Five minutes from the bustle of Saint-Germain, the Metro stops, and the beauty of Jardin du Luxembourg. This is definitely the area to stay in in Paris for a local feel and atmosphere yet within an easy walk to the famous boulevards, museums and churches. Nearby Amenities On the same block or within a block there are great shops and restaurants for all that you need to enjoy Paris(verger, wine, patisserie, cafe, restaurants, etc.). The House/Apartment Interesting character in this top floor (sixth floor) apartment with high ceilings, exposed beams, tall windows and an outlook overlooking the Parisian roof tops and street. A very quiet building as the main room looks over the inner courtyard. You can use the elevator but we preferred the circular staircase with the stained glass windows at each landing. Garden No balcony but the large windows opened on two sides of the apartment (bedroom and living room/kitchen). Furnishings/Cleanliness/Living Areas Small dining table suitable for two; several large and comfortable sofas - lots of cushions so very good for relaxing after long walks in Paris. Bedrooms/Bathrooms We preferred sleeping on the queen-size sofa bed in the living room as it was a hot week (record temps for April) so the bedroom a little small and warm for the two of us. Kitchen Very functional and complete kitchen including a washer-dryer! Go to the Parisian markets and enjoy your meals at home for sure. Problems or Bonuses Delightful views across the Parisian roof tops. Excellent large shower. Agency and Representatives (and price) We were well looked after by Parry as we made arrangements beforehand and by the agent, Laurent, who met us at the apartment. Do you recommend this vacation rental to others? Yes, I would stay here again. I hope the apartment - which is delightful in its colours and decor - is kept up well and continues to be an enjoyable place for experiencing Paris. Things to do in this area Shop at the verger across the street for fresh fruits and vegetables and go to the wine & cheese store one block away for helpful and delicious products. Have coffee at the cafe across from Saint Sulpice and go to the "Restaurant" for delicious Parisian dinner in a relaxed setting (but go after eight as that's when it opens!).
