Location: Paris Arrondissement 11, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe
Accommodations: Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
This little spot under the eaves was one of our first loves in France two decades ago. We offer it with the thought that Paris is for everyone, full of wonders smaller than the Eiffel Tower and away from the guidebook path, that the greatest pleasures come by surprise and don't have much to do with the size of your purse.
The garret is a recently renovated, pleasantly decorated lodging for one or two. It is south-facing, with good natural light and a view of Paris rooftops. You can cook if you like, or have breakfast with croissants from the neighborhood bakery, wonderful fruit preserves from the nearby Monoprix and coffee any way you like it.
Basics: 17 square meters; open-plan kitchen with two electric burners, microwave (but no conventional oven) and refrigerator; bathroom with toilet, sink and shower; standard double bed; electric heat.
No-Cost Extras: Electricity, linens, dishes, cookware, coffee maker, clock radio, wifi, air conditioning, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, small library of Paris guidebooks and fiction set in France, neighborhood guide with restaurants and shopping for the essentials and more.
Please Note: The garret is a non-smoking space. It is on the French 6th floor, and you must walk up to it. There is no elevator. Great for your thighs; an early guest aptly dubbed it “Chez Stairmaster.”

- The garret is on rue Jean Pierre Timbaud in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, in a working class - middle class neighborhood, near Place de la Republic and within walking distance of four Metro stations: Parmentier, Republic, Oberkampf and Goncourt. The Seine is six minutes away by Metro. The Folie-Mericourt neighborhood has traditionally welcomed immigrants to France, and its population still is a mix of native French and people of other origins. The garret also is on the fringe of the Oberkampf area, a popular night venue for young people. There is little tourism, so a visitor is more of a curiosity than a nuisance - for example, to the waiter and the shopkeeper. We believe this makes for a more friendly reception and many of our guests agree.
