Our apartments are located in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés, one of the most sought after and expensive "quartier" in Paris. The Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (residence of the French Prime Minister) are all within easy walking distance.
The one-bedroom apartment on the rue du Bac is in a 19th-century building located between the Seine and Boulevard Saint Germain. Directly across the street are the two finest hotels (according to the Michelin Guide, 2000) in the Seventh Arrondissement, the Pont-Royal, and the Montalembert. The apartment itself is approached by entering through the huge, dark, green doors into a small, private, cul-de-sac. At the far end of this cul-de-sac lies a particularly elegant building (beautifully lit at night) belonging to the French government.
The apartment is on the fourth floor, looking out onto the central courtyard. There is an elevator as well as an elegant and spacious stairwell. All the common areas of the building are maintained to a high standard by the very capable concierge.
At 50 square meters (about 520 square feet), the apartment may not be large, but it is wonderfully cozy, charming, and authentic. The floors are polished wood, the ceilings are tall (about nine feet or three meters), there are four windows (all looking out onto the central courtyard), and two (non-working) fireplaces. Modern conveniences include a laptop computer with internet access, a small but well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with spacious shower, washer-dryer, and electric heating.
As for the furnishings, they include an elegant and comfortable sofa in the living room, a top-quality, queen-size bed in the bedroom (divisible into two single beds if required), and a television with English language channels. And for those staying for more than one week, weekly maid service is included at no extra cost.
we also owns another studio apartment in the same area. There is only a one-minute walk from one to the other. For more information, please go to VRBO listing 23959.

The third apartment, which we call the "large one-bedroom" apartment is located in the 8th arrodissment, right off from the Rond-Point Champs-Elysées, in the middle of the Arc de Triumph and the Concorde. You could see photos of this apartment under "large one-bedroom"s.
