WELCOME to your Parisian home away from home! Perfect for business travelers and vacationers!
Ideally located in the heart of the City of Lights, steps away from the right bank’s world-renowned monuments and the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore’s fashion shops, your gorgeous apartment awaits.
Built in the late 1800s in the Haussmann style and completely renovated in 2006, your spacious, one-bedroom pied-a-terre sparkles with beautiful south, east, and west-facing views of Paris rooftops and streetscape from its rare bay window.
Decorated by Valerie DeRoy Interiors, LLC, each airy room is a tribute to elegant yet comfortable Parisian living. (700 Square Feet: Foyer, Foyer Walk-In Closet, Kitchen, Powder Room, Living/Dining Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Laundry Room)
DESCRIPTION:
With natural sunlight cascading into each room thanks to its south-facing windows, your air-conditioned 4th floor Parisian pied-a-terre, accessible by stairs or by elevator, exudes warmth and airiness.
The living and dining room, showcasing original and unusual Empire ceiling moldings as well as point-de-hongrie hardwood floors, is the perfect room in which to unwind after a busy day spent sightseeing the marvels of Paris: Dock your iPod in the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System, pour yourself a glass of wine, and experience Paris living the way well-heeled Parisians do.
The large bedroom, featuring original and intricately carved ceiling moldings as well as plush carpeting and a king-size bed, is a haven designed for relaxation and rejuvenation after a night on the town. Its muted colors, soft fabrics, and hushed lighting make it the perfect after dark Parisian sanctuary.
The kitchen, with granite countertops, glazed cabinets, and a full complement of top-of-the-line stainless steel Miele appliances, manages to be both efficient and elegant. The adjoining powder room is ideally situated, allowing easy access to you and your cocktail guests.
The bathroom, with its white carrara marble floor and wall tiles, retro plumbing fixtures and oversized porcelain bathtub, may make you want to soak forever.

NEIGHBORHOOD:
Located in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, your apartment is a stroll away from the right bank’s most famous historical places and monuments: les Champs-Elysees, la place de la Concorde, la place de la Madeleine, l’Opera, la place Vendome, les Tuileries gardens, le Louvre museum, le Palais Royal, le Petit Palais and le Grand Palais. Le Parc Monceau, surrounded by 19th century Hotels Particuliers and one of Paris' most elegant parks, is only a few short blocks away.
For shopping, the high fashion shops of la rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore are just mere minutes away, as are les Grands Magasins, Paris’ quintessential department stores. At the Marche Treilhard, a couple of blocks away, a cornucopia of French delicacies await: here you can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese from the cheese shop, pastries from the patisserie, fish from the fishmonger, and meat from the butcher. For everyday items, the Monoprix supermarket is also but a couple of blocks away.
For a true French market experience, head to the Levis market on the rue de Levis, a 10 minute walk from the apartment. The Levis market is open daily, weekends included. Go there in the mornings for a deeper selection of typical French foods and beverages. We highly recommend you walk the Levis market at least once during your stay, as it is a feast for the eyes.
If you want food to match your new Armani outfit, take a walk to la Madeleine and browse the shelves of Fauchon or Hediard, Paris’ top luxury food emporiums. If sweets are what you crave, try Laduree on the rue Royale, maker of Paris’ finest macaroons.
For explorations further a field, the Miromesnil and Saint-Augustin Metro Stations are just a few steps away (2-4 minutes), as are direct bus routes to all parts of the city.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 8
My wife being from Paris and my in-laws living there, we decided to purchase this property to be able to visit with them as often as possible. We settled on this arrondissement because of its rich history, easy walking distance to all of the right bank's major monuments, its residential feel and convenient access to the city's subway, bus lines and CDG airport. An added attraction is that Valerie's family live around the corner from us.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We chose to purchase this particular apartment for multiple reasons: the high ceilings, the original parquet floors, plaster moldings, fireplace and mirrors, the view from its unique bay window, the building's enhanced security thanks to its own caretaker or what Parisians call a "gardienne", and close proximity to public transportation and taxi stands.
An added benefit are the Presidential Palace and Interior Ministry buildings around the corner ensuring police patrol our neighborhood streets 24 hours a day on their mission to protect France's most important politicians. This can be very reassuring when walking back from one of our wonderful local restaurants at 1:00 am! (and helpful when in need of directions)
This is where you will find fresh produce (veggies and fruits), the fishmonger, the butcher shop, the cheesemonger... Food shopping as true Parisians do!
This is where you will find delish croissants and pains au chocolat! Across the street from our building.
Our local supermarket, where all manner of groceries, paper goods and toiletries can be found.
For a true French market experience, head to the amazing Levis outdoor market on the rue de Levis. Just a 10 minute walk from the apartment, the Levis market is open daily, weekends included. Go there in the mornings for a deeper selection of typical French foods and beverages. We highly recommend you walk the Levis market at least once during your stay, as it is a feast for the eyes.
Great wine shop just around the corner: Free wine tastings most evenings on the sidewalk, weather permitting.

My wife and I spend about 4 weeks a year in our Paris apartment, and consider it our home away from home. It is a true gem which we hope you will enjoy as much as we do!

Highly Recommended For Couples! Stylish, Comfortable, Convenient - Need We Say More?
Guest: IslandLady
(St John, USVI)

Review Submitted: 01/07/12
My husband and I stayed in this apartment for a week in October, 2011 after a lot of research. We had never rented an apartment on vacation, although I have some experience in renting vacation properties myself. This property was everything the owners promised and much more! It was bigger than we we even expected because of the layout and was a delightful oasis after long days of sightseeing, It was very easy to access multiple Metro stops in different directions from the apartment and in a safe, comfortable, and friendly neighborhood. [The Metro was an easy and inexpensive way to explore the city fast, and it was simple to learn to get around. We used an iPhone app to get started, but RAPT Metro maps are available too.] The apartment kitchen is small as expected, but perfectly outfitted for eating in. The dishware is delightful. My husband loved making eggs for breakfast to complement the fresh croissants from the bakery across the street. I cooked a late supper one night after a stop at the local Monoprix (just a couple of blocks away) for food and wine. Sweet! (There are quite a few good eating establishments within blocks of the apartment for every taste and budget – so no need to cook in at all.) The king bed was heaven – and yes – it is truly a king and very comfortable. There was plenty of room to put clothing away, so there was no need to live out of suitcases. The large living room windows were a joy. I am a plus-sized woman and I fit into the tiny elevator just fine with my husband, although we took it up one at a time with luggage to start. The negatives? It’s hard to think of one. Not negatives, but quirks: It was a bit weird having the toilet room in a separate space from the rest of the bathroom at first, but we got to like that. And as you leave the apartment, you need to watch your step so you don’t trip stairs wind directly outside the door. The washer/dryer in the apartment is a single small unit, with separate controls for wash/dry cycles. It worked well for us, but we aren't the kind of people who do three loads of laundry on vacation. There is so much more to say, but we’ll leave those little surprises for future guests and just say what a wonderful find this apartment is! We could only wish the owners had a two-bedroom version we could share with friends. They made the whole process of renting easy and stress-free, made our stay a comfortable one, and we are looking forward to visiting again.
Owner response:Thank you IslandLady for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris. A word about our powder room and washer/dryer: our powder room is divided into 2 spaces with a door in between. The first space includes a sink and mirror, and the second space includes the toilet. This set up adds privacy to the toilet area and enables a couple of guests to use both spaces at the same time. Our washer/dryer: Finding space for a stand alone washer and stand alone dryer is tough in Paris, as the vast majority of apartments do not have separate laundry rooms. So much so that most washers end up in the kitchen while dryers are few and far between. Our apartment does have a separate laundry room, albeit a small one, which is why we opted for a combination washer and dryer. The combination washer/dryer works as advertised, which is to say that most garments will need to be air dried for a small amount of time following a dry cycle as combination washer/dryers will not be able to wring out every last bit of moisture in a garment.

For us, this was a great place to stay for our visit to Paris. We were there for 8 days so having such a beautiful apartment to use was so much better than a hotel room. It was clean, comfortable, and well located. We could go touring for the day and look forward to returning to spacious, full function living quarters. We especially liked the complete kitchen that allowed us to prepare some of our meals at "home", sparing us from eating every meal in a restaurant.The location of this apartment was excellent; close to many of the best tourist attractions but also located in a quiet Parisian neighborhood. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next trip to Paris.
Owner response:Thank you Jon for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris.

Thank you, Valerie and Joel for sharing your beautiful home with us. We felt that we were locals living in great Paris. The location was great & the pictures of the apartment are very accurate. The decorating was very tasteful & refined. It was great coming home at the end of the day to such a tranquil setting. The only thing that we missed was having a consierge that could address any questions that we might have had.
Owner response:Thank you Cheryl & James for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris. A word about a concierge: As we are not a hotel, we simply cannot provide one... We do however provide our guests with detailed neighborhood shop and restaurant suggestions we enjoy while in Paris, as well as detailed information about things to do and places to see off and on the beaten path while there. We also provide our guests with comprehensive instructions on using our apartment's amenities, along with practical information about their arrival, stay, and departure (taxi, public transportation, etc.) We are also available via email and phone for any questions or concerns our guests may have while staying with us.

My wife and I just spent four days in Paris. This apartment was a highlight of our stay. It is just a ten minute walk to the Champs Elysees. The neighborhood is very safe with a real authentic Parisian feel. And inside, the apartment was furnished and decorated very well. And it was quiet; sleeping was no problem at all. A terrific place!

We are very thankful for the opportunity to have stayed in this parisian apartment for 4 nights. The listing (photos and description) are very accurate, and you won't be disappointed, in fact, we were presently surprised with the size, charm and character of this apartment, which you can only experience once there! The location of the apartment was perfect. Quite, safe street in 8th district, a close walk to a lot of the major sigths, cafes and restaurants and train station. The owner provided excellent customer service and professionalism leading up to and after our stay. Absolutely no concerns about recommending this property to anyone and would love to return when next in Paris!
Owner response:Thank you Renee for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris.

Perfect Getaway

Review Submitted: 08/04/11
We were so fortunate to find five days in July when the flat was available. We thought from the photos that this would be a wonderful place to stay but we also knew that photos can be deceptive. In this case the photos lived up to our every expectation. The instructions provided for arriving at the flat were perfect. As soon as we walked into the apartment we felt right at home. It did not have the sterile feel of a rental. It felt as if we were guests in the home of a friend. The rooms are spacious and elegant. The marble bathroom (and the bath) were just like the finest hotel. Whenever we had a question Joel promptly responded by e mail. The kitchen was small but better equipped than many kitchens sleeping many more people. We loved having breakfasts in the eating area looking over the roofs of Paris with breads from the boulangerie . The location was quiet and central to so many areas. We loved the markets nearby andthe lilttle shops. The flat had so many guide books and every modern amenity. Having an elevator also was a treat. We have no hesitation recommending this flat to others who want a special stay in Paris. We have stayed in many luxury hotels in Paris,including the George V. After this experience I would always choose go stay at this flat if it is available. .
Owner response:Thank you Nancy for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris.

Joel: Just a quick note to say thanks for letting us rent your apartment in Paris. The apartment was fabulous and the fact that you also ordered perfect weather was greatly appreciated. Seriously, the apartment was glorious, clean, in a great location and made our anniversary trip to Paris a real treat. We will return as soon as we are able, as the apartment met all of our expectations and more. Finally, thanks for all of your suggestions about all of the wonderful things in the neighborhood. Since we had never stayed in the 8th before, knowing more of the nooks and crannies from you was wonderful. In fact, we ate at the Sommelier and at Dominic Boucher and found them to be excellent. Your instructions were clear and concise and made our stay in Paris a truly wonderful experience. Thanks again. Burt

VERY nice apartment - pretty good location

Review Submitted: 06/28/11
We loved this apartment, where we stayed for a couple of weeks this summer (2011) in Paris. It's in the 8th, within a short walk of the Metro, and about (by my count) a 15 minute walk to the Tuileries. I have to say I do not love the 8th for purposes of visiting. But it's a nice neighborhood to call a base in Paris, because it is not as touristy (at least near this apartment). There is a cute street creperie near the building, as well as a very nice outdoor market (for food - a short walk). The unit itself has been done tastefully, preserving the charm without looking quaint. It is bright (big windows), and looks very much like the picture in the ad. It is spacious enough for two people to live comfortably without falling over each other. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen is the right size, and is fully functional. There's a washer/dryer in the unit. The AC works well. The bathroom shower/tub is big/comfortable. It's on the 4th floor, but there's an elevator. My only complaint: it would be nice to get more than news shows for English-language TV (this, though, coming from a TV addict). The owners, whom I have never met, are nice and responsive (to inquiries, etc.). All-in-all, I would totally recommend this place.
Owner response:Thank you Mo for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris. A word about our neighborhood: we specifically chose this neighborhood for its history, practicality, and proximity to the City's major monuments without hordes of tourists to contend with. We wanted a true Parisian experience during our stays in Paris, which is exactly what our neighborhood delivers.

Bonjour Valerie and Joel! We enjoyed every minute at your apartment. Your French Home was everything we wished for and more. Your housekeeper was adorable. She made our arrival so fun with her laughter and French instructions! Not only is the apartment beautifully decorated but the neighborhood is charming. Our Summer 2011 Paris trip was exceptional. We are so fortunate to have seen the listing on VRBO. We will definitely recommend your apartment to American friends who prefer a private residence when traveling. We used the notebook for restaurants and shopping. Our last day was so much fun at the market on Rue de Levis. Merci beaucoup from very happy guests!

Paris Perfect Pour Nous

Review Submitted: 06/12/11
My husband and I are very particular about where we stay when we travel which we do often for our business. For vacations we are even pickier and seldom consider apartments because we don't like the feeling of living someone else's life. Joel and Valerie have created an elegant space that makes it easy to feel is your own. The decor is tastefully simple with a few carefully chosen appointments — easy on the eyes with beautiful daylight and one doesn't have to gather up a bunch of tchotchkes and hide them under the bed. It's a good bed with lovely laundered white sheets and duvet. There is a great bathtub for soaking after 10 hour walks and plenty of towels available. The kitchen is adequate for making simple meals and taking advantage of all the delicious prepared foods available in the nearby shops and farmer's market. We were very happy with the neighborhood beginning with the patisserie directly across the street that makes it easy to wake up and get coffee and croissants toute de suite! There are several nice restaurants within a few blocks for those days when you've gone far afield and want your second outing to be closer to home. This was our 3rd trip to Paris and we were seeking to pretend we live there. We definitely got our experience. While it would be nice to try another arrondissement next time we find we are yearning to return to our "home" so everybody: please take good care of it!
Owner response:Thank you B&D for your kind review. We are thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Parisian apartment and look forward to welcoming you again when your travels bring you back to Paris. A word about our kitchen: our fully-equipped kitchen features top-of-the-line cabinets (Poggen Pohl) and a full range of top-of-the-line appliances (Miele). Space being at a premium in Paris for 1-bedroom apartments, we are fortunate to be able to offer our guests a fully-equipped, fully-integrated, custom built kitchen to take advantage of the amazing food items our neighborhood markets have to offer.
