Brought to you by ParlerParisApartments, La Rose du Marais is a beautiful and spacious home away from home in the heart of Paris' oldest district -- Le Marais. Professionally renovated and redecorated, this charming apartment is in a stately and quiet building just a few blocks away from Place des Vosges.
On the third floor with an elevator, you may enter the building from both boulevard Beaumarchais and rue des Arquebusiers in the 3rd Arrondissement, making it convenient to Métro lines, buses and all of central Paris.
Rue des Arquebusiers is an oasis in the bustling Marais. The street hosts a small, elegant hotel, Villa Beaumarchais, featured prominently in the 2001 French film, Va Savoir, by the famous film director, Jacques Rivette, and a magnificent jewel of a rose garden, Jardin Saint-Gilles-Grand-Veneur adjacent to the grounds of Saint Denis du Saint Sacrement and its abbey.
The Beaumarchais lobby retains its original mosaic tilework, stained glass windows and glass block ceiling. It is literally like stepping back in time to turn-of-the-20th-century Paris.
The apartment’s grand entry doors lead into a sun-bathed foyer with beautiful rose trellis ironwork and streams of natural light from the large windows that line the entire apartment overlooking the peaceful cobblestoned courtyard. A lovely powder room is just off the foyer.
The foyer opens to a spacious dining room, with an antique dining set that seats up to eight people. A hand-crafted marble-topped vaisselier buffet is conveniently equipped with dinnerware, a sink and hidden dishwasher. On the walls are original illustrations by Hansi, one of France’s most famous illustrators of the WWI era.
The kitchen is entirely new with new custom cabinetry and appliances -- a full sized oven, a four-burner stove top with both gas and electric burners, a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all cooking equipment and utensils…it even has a concealed washer/dryer.
Just beyond the dining area is a comfortable living room equipped with a custom-made sofa, (built 2 blocks away at l’Atelier Saint Sabin) which cleverly converts into either a double bed or two singles -- each as comfortable as the master bed (also a Saint Sabin original). There is a cozy leather love seat that complements all of the other French antique wood furnishings. The room is intimately lit with unique locally hand-crafted table and floor lamps. Original prints from one of Paris’ most noted photographers adorn the walls.
Overlooking the courtyard, the master bedroom, boasts a custom-built queen-sized bed dressed with plush bed linens and four huge built-in drawers in its base. A full size antique armoire provides ample space for hanging clothes, as well as shelving. As this and the second bedroom are located on the courtyard side, your Parisian dreams will never be interrupted by the bustle of Boulevard Beaumarchais.
A hallway off the living room connects the second bedroom with the bathroom, giving it an “en-suite” feeling. The bedroom features a full-sized bed, a small desk, bookshelves, another antique armoire and closets. It has the feeling of a Paris writer’s retreat.
The bright and luxurious bathroom has been completely renovated to combine every modern convenience with an “old Paris” feeling using the highest quality period fixtures and gleaming white “Métro” tiles. The main bathroom sink is solidly traditional and spacious and is separated from the toilet with a privacy wall. The toilet area is accompanied by its own separate hand sink. Completing the comfortable picture is a full glass shower, with rainfall shower head as well as a smaller traditional shower head. The wall-mounted, heated towel rack ensures that you will never be cold when stepping out of the shower to towels that are warm and fluffy.
Your favorite programming can be viewed on the large flat screen high-definition television and if you're in for the evening, you may cozy up to a movie or listen to Edith Piaf on the combination DVD/CD player. Cable HDTV allows you to watch over 100 channels, including several in English such as CNN and BBC World. The apartment comes with a private Wi-Fi signal and unlimited free telephone calls to over 70 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia. These services as well as all linens are included in the rental rate.
