Newly renovated large apartment (March 2008) overlooking the beautiful Russian Orthodox church.
This building is located near the Arc de Triomphe in the upscale and coveted 8th District (Arrondissement). Avenue Beaucour is a pedestrian dead end street, very quiet and safe even at night. You are less than 10 minutes walk to the Champs Élysées and because this area is such a big hub for metros, you can go pretty much anywhere in Paris in less than 15-20 minutes.
The apartment is located on the fourth floor of this 19th century building (with elevator) and is overlooking the gardens and golden domes of the Russian orthodox church (but don’t worry, they only ring once at 10am!). No cars are allowed on the street so it is very quiet - A peaceful retreat in one of the busiest and most prestigious areas of Paris.
We have completely renovated this large two bedroom apartmentin March 2008. The apartment has all the charm of the 19th century Parisian apartments with high molded ceilings and walls, hardwood floors throughout, a marble fireplace, iron work on the balcony, bow windows – all this with the comfort and modernity of new appliances and modern furnishing.
BEDROOMS:
There is a Master bedroom with a Queen-size bed for two adults. The second bedroom has separate twin beds which can be pushed together to form one large King-size bed, (includes a top mattress when formed together). There is a quality double sofa-sleeper in the living room, that can sleep two adults comfortably as well. A total of 6 adults can occupy this large apartment, with its 66m2 (730 sq feet).
BATHROOMS:
The apartment has two bathrooms. The large one for the Master bedroom has a tub and hand-held shower, plus sink (no WC). The smaller bathroom has a walk-in shower, sink and WC.
KITCHEN:
The apartment’s kitchen has all new cabinets, new appliances and includes, a dishwasher, combination oven and microwave, stove top with electric burners, coffee machine and toaster. There is a combination washer/dryer unit in the apartment. There is both a dining table for six people as well as a bar-counter.
The location is perfect for all.
The Food & Wine lovers will walk to the best gourmet shops in Paris (Dalloyau, Taillevant, Hediard) and will spend hours cruising the most quintessentially Parisian market in the nearby Rue Poncelet. The rue Poncelet market is particularly inviting as it has a combination of fruit, vegetables and produce stalls lined up alongside some of the best food stores in the city. Even in the windy cold of November these little shops open their fronts to the streets in a symphony of color, sound and aromas. Sample the best assortment of French cheeses at Fromagerie des Gourmets at 7, rue Poncelet or some excellent and typical French baguette at PAUL bread shops. It is a unique experience!
The Classical Music addicts will just die to be literally two steps away from the city’s main concert Hall - Salle Pleyel – which reopened after its most radical renovation to date, a $36 million makeover that involved gutting and redesigning its main auditorium. You actually can see the back of the building from the living room and – if you are lucky – on a summer evening may hear pianists practicing. And in the summer, why not just walk to the Parc Monceau and attend its annual Chopin Festival?
The Joggers and nature lovers will not believe they are so close (300 feet) to the Parc Monceau. Known as one of the most attractive parks in Paris, Park Monceau, the brainchild of the Duke of Orleans in the 18th century, has become a favorite resting place for those looking for some peace and quiet away from the busy city. Stroll among its pretty flower gardens and interesting array of statues, relax along its little ponds, grottos and waterfall or jog in its alleys. This is just one of the most romantic places in Paris at you door steps.
The Architecture and History maniacs will wake up to the stunning view of the Cathédrale St-Alexandre-Nevsky, probably the most beautiful Russian church in France. The style is Byzantine-moscovite, with bulb-like pinnacle domes, a gilded ball and a cross at each apex. Enjoy a sunny lunch on the living room balcony overlooking the church gardens or just admire the view from your bed through the bedroom windows. The bells only ring once at 10am in the morning so you’ll just enjoy the peaceful view.
The fashion victims will not resist the luxury fashion shops going down on Faubourg St Honoré towards the presidential palace (Élysées). From Chanel to Hermes and more, just walk them all!
Our apartment is also available for rent through our exclusive agent. Please contact us and we can direct you to them for additional services.

Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 8
I acquired my flat in Paris about a year ago so I could sty there with my children when i am in Paris. Both my children are schooled in Paris so it is really a nice thing to be able to enjoy our own home there when i visit.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
I thing the best asset of the apartment really is its location which is So convenient. you can go pretty much anywhere in Paris in less than 15-20 minutes. you can walk to many many places and there always seem to be a direct bus or direct metro line. I also enjoy the fact that the aera is so safe even at night. I often walk back home very late without fearing to be annoyed by anyone. An of course, because it is my second home, I have payed a lot of attention to the decoration so it is unlike any other rental place. more of a real home really !
This is the most famous classical concert Hall in Paris. You can check online for tickets and concerts schedule
A quintessential parisian market street with fruit, meat and fish stalls lined up. Great for your sunday morning shopping or to have a bite anytime !
Teh most famous avenue in PAris is just steps away (less than 10 minutes walk !)
A landmark in PAris of course but also a big hub for metros and RER which makes it so easy to go anywhere in or outside of Paris
you will open your windows on this beautiful russian orthodox church as the apartment overlooks its domes and courtyard.
PArc Monceau is one of the nicest park in Paris. It is so peaceful and great for joggers!
there is a small supermarket just 2 minutes away from the apartment. so convenient !
