Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 9

Our sunny little apartment in Pigalle is the culmination of a 20 year love affair with Paris, the city of light. We return every year and never fail to feel uplifted and recharged. Now our daughter has married a Parisian boy and grandchildren have arrived so we have an even more important excuse to rush back. The apartment is just how we like it, bright, comfortable and cosy and we are delighted that over the past 6 years so many others have also enjoyed our dream. Best wishes and enjoy it from Christine and Oliver, Byron Bay, Australia.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

This neighborhood is at the top of the 9th arrondissement and is sometimes called Novelle Athene, after the famous restaurant at the top of rue Pigalle where many of the first impressionist painters would meet in the early 1870's. It is said that the very first exhibition which launched impressionism on a startled art world was conjured up in the Nouvelle Athene cafe.
There are 3 metro stops on Line 12 close by, namely. St Georges, Trinité and Pigalle and we use St George which is closest to the apartment. However, our great joy of Paris morning life is to walk the streets and when we leave the apartment we walk down rue Pigalle to the very pretty Trinité church and then down the side streets to Galeries Lafayette and then on down to the Opera and thru Madelaine to Place Concorde and the Seine river. Its a great start to our day and we can always catch the metro back if we are tired. Or we head over to the market street of rue des Marthyrs about 3 blocks away, where we stock up on fresh food, cheeses and seafood. Within a 50 metre walk we have all the grocery and wine supplies we need plus a wonderful butchery which usually has a queue outside at weekends. the patisserie on the corner has the best baguettes and croissants and next door is a newsagent where we buy the Int Herald Tribune for a breakfast read.

 

Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 9

Hi, My name is Christine Vadasz and with my husband Oliver and daughter Bridget are the owners of this "Bright and Sunny apartment on the edge of the Pigalle area in Paris. Though I live and work as an architect in a famous surfing spot on the east of Australia, my background is European, having been born in Budapest, Hungary. Paris fills my need for the memory of the inner city life which was so much a part of my mother and grandmothers' life before they came to a a very different new world.

    • From Brendan and Marion, Dublin We have recently returned from our second stay at the rue Pigalle apartment and were delighted to renew our acquaintance with this great area of Paris. As a pair of active seniors, we find that this apartment has everything we need, plus it is close to all the shops and restaurants in the area. It’s nice airy yet it was warm in winter. The bus is just on the corner and it takes you straight Hotel de Ville and Notre Dame. The St. George Metro station is about 200 metres away and you can be walking in the Louvre half an hour after leaving the front door. Another good thing is that the building has a lift which is much appreciated after a hard days walking in Paris, our favourite Paris persuit. We will be back. PS: The owners have now fitted a wee step into the bath/shower area with a grab rail and it worked very well for us.

      Date Submitted: September 07, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008 We enjoyed our stay at this charming, little apartment in Pigalle. The apartment is well equiped with a tiny balcony overlooking the street and with lovely views to Sacre Coeur and the Eiffel Tower. Lots of food shops near by with friendly helpful staff. Easy access to the Metro and within walking distance of Montmartre. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to suit most tastes and budgets (can recommend Les Comediens on Rue Blanche). Perfect apartment for a couple. The small space has been creatively used to provide all mod cons but getting in and out of the shower is a bit tricky and wouldn't be suitable for anyone with limited mobility. The neighbourhood could be described as colourful being in a red light district which may bother some people but we felt perfectly safe. Would stay here again and recommend it to others. Recommended for: Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway, Age 55+

    • 28/5/08: we'd warmly support the comments already made. We rented this apartment early May 2008 for four days. It's ideally situated for exploring lots of Paris, and only 2 1/2 blocks from the Metro, which is easy to negotiate (we managed all our Metro trips on a 10-trip ticket, with some judicious walking!) Gail was great to deal with and the whole experience was superb. WARMLY recommended.

    • A very well appointed clean apartment, ideal for a couple. The location is excellent being close but not too close to Place Pigalle and five minutes from the Metro. There is plenty of tourist information and the phone can be used for a local call.This is vital if you do not have a mobile phone and you need a taxi.A washing machine is also a big plus.

    • We had the most fantastic time in the three weeks we spent at the apartment. As we were there during the Australian Federal election campaign we wanted to be able to check the latest news via the internet and cable TV so thankyou Bridget and Gail for helping us with this. We don't want to recommend the apartment to anyone because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Carolyn and John, Melbourne, Australia

    • We were delighted to arrive here, after a four week journey in the French countryside, to find not only a welcoming place with views but also internet access for our laptop and several TV channels in english. Although the apartment is small it is well designed, located and equipped and altogether delightlful. The range of books and CD's is impressive. I can see ourselves coming to this apartment again in the future and recommending it to our friends.

    • Dear Bridget, My husband and I had a wonderful nine days in the apartment. It had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. I enjoyed shopping at the local shops - especially to buy gana! We look forward to returning to Paris, and hopefully staying in an apartment again. Merci beaucoup, Carol

    • Dear Oliver and Gail, We absolutely loved staying at this apartment. The location was fabulous, spectacular views, close to all amenities, excellent metro access, and the apartment was so cosy. We also found this to be a really cost effective form of accommodation and wished we had rented apartments in other places we visited in Europe. Not only that but it felt so much more personal than staying in a hotel. Thankyou also for the lovely flowers and wine we received when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone and the service we received from the time we made our reservation was fantastic! Thanks again, our stay in Paris was the highlight of our honeymoon and we hope it won't be too long before we come back. Sam and Lisa.

    • This was our 5th+ trip to Paris, but our first in an apartment. Since we have done many of the highlights of Paris prior to this visit, we were looking for that neighborhood experience. We got that at this apartment. The nearby bakery, butcher and green grocer were helpful and delightful. The two nearby separate subway routes were handy as well. I would recommend serious cooks (the kitchen does have bread, paring and slicing knives) to bring their own knives. Also a nice French cookbook in the apartment in its surprisingly large tourist library.

    • Dear Oliver, The apartment on Rue Pigalle was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better location with everything within a block. We will be back at the first opportunity and have passed it on to several friends. Thanks again, George King Toronto, Canada
