19th Century hat factory converted with art and style into a sophisticated apartment in the heart of the Marais.
Just one block from the Picasso Museum this apartment was completely renovated in 2007. It is detailed with taste and thoroughly modern in comfort and amenities. See photos below.
“The Cocteau” is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with a fully equipped open “American” kitchen. There is both stair and elevator access to the quiet second floor (American 3rd floor). It is 60 square meters in size (660 square feet).
Located on the serene street, rue de Thorigny, the apartment was laid out and designed with meticulous attention to every detail. We have incorporated custom furnishings, antiques and original art. Traditional floor to ceiling windows over look the street flooding the living and dining areas with light. The bedrooms are located at the back of the apartment assuring a quiet night’s rest. All bedrooms have windows for excellent cross-ventilation, built-in closets, high quality linens, brand new mattresses and their own bathrooms.
Here is what our first tenant said. “Let me say that the apartment is absolutely wonderful, and I will tell the world about it, believe me! It was just so comfortable, and aesthetically just perfect down to the last detail – you have great taste!”
Upon arrival, our American colleague will meet you to give you the keys, show you the apartment and be available should questions arise during your stay. We can also arrange for you to be picked up at the airport by a bilingual driver who will be waiting for you and will assist you with your luggage.
At the apartment you will find our personalized handbook which will have tips for enjoying the neighborhood, a list of our favorite restaurants, emergency numbers and instructions for using the appliances. The rental price includes everything except for possible extra phone charges although most calls are free even those to the U.S.
We provide every amenity you will need including a Mac laptop computer with wireless internet and a cell phone. Some cell phone calling time is provided and additional minutes can easily be purchased at SFR phone stores or at any Tabac.
LOCATION:
Our location is extraordinary with great restaurants, art galleries and fashionable shops at your doorstep. There are narrow streets that have not changed for centuries. You will be 1 block from the Picasso Museum, an easy walk to Place des Vosges, the Musee Carnavalet and the Pompidou Center. It is an easy stroll to Notre Dame and the Left Bank. Rue de Bretagne, famous for its food purveyors and its historic covered market “Enfants Rouges” is a few short blocks away.
TRANSPORTATION:
Excellent access to the metro. St. Sebastien Froissart is the closest metro stop - about a 5 minute walk.
Bus service is excellent as well.
We also have an adjacent one bedroom apartment “The Picasso” (see VRBO #156165). The apartments can be joined and rented as a 3 bedroom unit.
