MEMORIES LAST FOREVER. CREATE SOME WONDERFUL MEMORIES IN PARIS. THIS APARTMENT WAS FEATURED IN THE NY TIMES AND INTL HERALD TRIBUNE. You'll love this stunning apartment inspired by Versailles. Central Air Conditioning! Open the front door and you'll feel you're in a luxurious five star hotel with all the comforts of home. This spectacular location gives you the BEST of St. Germain des Pres on the Left Bank and the BEST of the Right Bank across the bridge. Awesomely located on a lovely residential street and near the hot spots of the 6th and 7th arrondissements.
Paris sparkles all around you with the Musee D'Orsay and St. Germain des Pres and cafes Flore and Deux Magots a few blocks away. You'll step out the building, cross the famous Blvd. St. Germain, to the Pont de la Concorde bridge to the Louvre, the Champs Elysees and fabled shops of the Place Vendome.
The elevator whisks you to the 4th floor where you open the shiny, lacquered blue door to your own fully renovated and exquisitely decorated 750 square foot apartment in this charming 19th century apartment updated with central air conditioning, the newest appliances and the best of modern American conveniences. Notice the magical light of Paris pouring through the floor to ceiling French windows.
Step into your 2 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath Paris home and immediately feel welcomed into refinement and elegance. Experience the convenience and privacy, so unlike a commercial hotel open to the bustling hordes.
Your apartment easily and comfortably accommodates up to 5 people. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a powder room, and a custom-made sofa-bed in the living room, with spring-suspension and a comfy mattress for a cozy night’s sleep.
We tried to think of everything to make guests feel comfortable and coddled. In the Versailles blue bedroom, your queen sized bed offers the most comfortable mattress in France, the Imperial Airspring, luxurious Yves Delorme linens, gold chandelier, and a view overlooking the leafy green trees and gray Mansart rooftops of the Boulevard Saint-Germain. The silk drapes are lined with black-out curtains for a restful sleep. There is an en suite tiled Provencal bathroom with double sinks, a shower/tub and a personally controlled heated towel rack for your warmth and comfort.
In the second, Chinese yellow bedroom, there are two twin beds, with Imperial Airspring mattresses as comfortable as the blue bedroom or even more so. The twins can be “zipped” together, a fluffy mattress cover thrown across, ensuring the two to become one super comfortable queen sized bed. This bedroom overlooks the quiet courtyard of the building. The “Ecole Chinoise”, Chinese inspired drapes are copies of an 18th century Venetian design, also backed with black-out curtains. There is a spacious Louis XVI style desk on which to work.
In the living room, with its original parquet floors, the pale yellow walls are graced with French paintings and engravings of scenes from Versailles. The 12-foot ceiling boasts a 12 light chandelier, the blue and gold silk brocade drapes are tied back with silk cords. The living room is elegantly furnished with authentic French antiques and custom made pieces in the Louis XV and Louis XVI style. The oval dining table can accommodate a large dinner party with two extensions. There is a 32 inch flat screen Sony TV sitting atop an antique 19th century commode with over 500 channels including CNN, BBC and other English language stations. In addition, there is a DVD player which plays US and all types of DVD’s. Freebox provides WiFi internet service and free international calling on the three phones.
No expense was spared in the fully equipped, French country kitchen with dishwasher, range top, refrigerator/freezer, oven and microwave, all newly installed and fresh. A full set of dinnerware, glasses, wine glasses, utensils, wine cooler, platter, soup tureen, French linen place mats and napkins, cookware, all you could need are provided.
For your convenience, a fully tiled laundry cabinet has a washer and separate large capacity dryer.
The second, Portuguese tiled bathroom, has a real American-style shower with another white tiled and mirrored guest bathroom in the entry.
Outside the living room and the blue bedroom, your view overlooks the leafy trees of bustling Boulevard Saint Germain, yet still feels peaceful and quiet inside double paned French windows.
There are 2 cozy Parisian cafés at the corner and the chic Le Bourbon and Michelin-rated Tante Marguerite restaurants steps away at the Place Palais de Bourbon. The famous Gosselin bakery is just one block away for fresh croissants with your coffee every morning. Dash across the street to the greengrocer on the rue de Courty or walk to several large supermarkets close by.
For any questions during your stay or trouble shooting, there is a managing agent whose phone number you will have. The agent will meet you upon arrival with keys and give you a thorough orientation of the apartment.
Transportation couldn’t be easier or more convenient. The Assemblee National Metro stop is right downstairs and the bus stop with buses to all the major attractions sits right in front of the apartment building as well. A taxi stand is one and a half blocks away near the Musee D’Orsay.
You can easily walk to the famous sites of the Left Bank such as the Saint-Germain des Pres area, the Musee D’Orsay and the Invalides. Around the corner, the entire Right Bank is also at your feet across the short pont de la Concorde bridge, spanning the romantic Seine River, a quick stroll to the Place de la Concorde, the Louvre and the Champs Elysees. We hope you will come once and come back many times to your home away from home on the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris.
