Rent a Sunny Apartment Rue Madame: Luxembourg & St-Germain
Year Purchased: 2006
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, 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.

Hi, Pary, Here's my review on Slowtrav...you are more than welcome to post the link to it on your website as a recommendation, or you can cut and paste from it, if you like. I'm still full of great memories of our stay there...thank you so much! Brenda Excerpt from Brenda's review: "Furnishings/Cleanliness/Living Areas Because this is a new rental, everything inside of the apartment is also new. The furniture is in excellent condition, very comfortable and as clean as can be. There is comfortable seating space in the living room area for six people. Bedroom The queen bed in the bedroom is very comfortable and has a duvet, quilt and blanket, so we chose what we needed to keep us warm in our beds. The bed linen is spotless, crisply laundered and folded. There is a wide selection of sheets to choose from in the cabinet. Kitchen I totally adore this kitchen ... brand-new, filled with everything I dream of finding in a kitchen when I'm traveling! The top cabinet is filled with enough kitchen dishes to keep us going for a full day or two of food prep. Besides the usual dinnerware, there is a stack of cafe latte bowls ... perfect for cereal for my granddaughter and my morning fruit salad and yogurt. Bathroom The bathroom is heavenly! The shower is really large, has shiny-new sliding glass doors and it has the best water pressure and hot water supply of any vacation rental I've stayed. A skylight over the shower floods the bathroom with gorgeous light during the day. We absolutely loved the shower; it was such a treat for us! Agency and Representatives (and price) The English-speaking owners of this apartment are fantastic to work with. They accommodated our travel dates without a second thought, added a day on at the end to help me out when my flight home was delayed, answered every single question that I asked and provided crystal-clear directions with loads of helpful hints in a very informative package,. The apartment is exactly as shown in photos on their website and on VRBO. Actually, it is nicer than the photos show, especially the bathroom. Everything that the owners have listed in their info on the various websites is accurate to the nth degree. I was very well informed by their advertising and pleasantly surprised to find the apartment was everything they promised, and more. Do you recommend this vacation rental to others? I would stay here again in a Parisian heartbeat! I'd recommend this apartment to my best friend, and to anyone else traveling with a group of one - three people. It is perfect for a couple or for two friends, as long as one person doesn't mind sleeping on the sofa bed. I truly loved this location. Walking home through Luxembourg Jardin in the evening, the pathways cooled by the massive shade trees ... it was such a treat for us. We settled in like long-time residents..."
