Ile Saint Louis is the most prestigious and sought after location in all of Central Paris- a small island in the middle of the Seine yet away from all the crowds and tour buses . A small exclusive community live in 16th, 17th and 18th century mansions and apartments. The church of Saint Louis, Notre Dame,the Louvre, the Seine, Bastille opera , several open markets, several Metro stations , buses, fashionable shops and restaurants are all close by .
Since we purchased the apartment we have added a second bathroom and updated the main bathroom - VERY FEW Paris apartments have two bathrooms . The kitchen has been updated, windows in Living room , Dining room, door to terrassse are now double glazed for energy efficiency. Solid oak hardwood floors throughout, and the apartment has quality furnishings and equipment . Pictures are also on our own web site.
The apartment is at the quiet end of the charming main street of Ile Saint Louis, in a small very well maintained 18th Century building at the far end of the street - away from all the noise of the boutiques and restaurants at the Notre Dame end. Real French people live in the building . It is close to the famous BERTILLON Ice Cream Store, wonderful patisseries, butcheries, restaurants, art galleries, bookstores and charcuteries. It is easy walking distance to all major attractions and to the Metro - Notre Dame, Louvre, the Sainte Chapelle, the Marais, the Bastille, and several street markets---it is only 100 metres from the Seine .
There are several bus lines close to the apartment, as well as the Metro Pont Marie or Sully Morland, Line 7, which takes you to the Louvre, Opera, Comedie Francaise and the Grands Magazins. Metro station Cite, on line 4, and Saint Paul on line 1 are also very close .
Our apartement is on 1er etage, one flight up, is 80 square metres - around 875 square feet, and as well, it has a 22-square-metre terrasse garden which gets afternoon sun . The floor plan can be faxed to you.
There are two bedrooms, each with French king-size beds,
160 x 200 cms . The double living room has a full size sofa bed, and a mahogany desk/secretaire. There is a family room/casual eating area with a table seating six and a TV off the separate kitchen. The dining room has an antique mahogany table, mahogany cane seated chairs and can seat 8 to 10. It also has an exposed stone wall, and a serene outlook onto trees .
All five rooms have access to the terrasse- either with windows or French doors. Although there is no airconditioning, the apartment's thick stone walls, its numerous windows and the terrasse ensure that the apartment stays cool in the summer. The bedrooms are quiet, both located at the rear of the apartment. We do have two fans
Our friends have a lovely apartment, 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom in the building next door, on second floor also, and it may be convenient for larger family groups to rent both apartments .

We are home almost a week now and getting caught up . We had a wonderful time in your lovely apartment , and fitted in well .Our 13 year old slept in the sofa bed in Living room, The 10 year old slept in smaller Bedroom with me , , my son and daughter inlaw slept in the master bedroom . We all thought the Ile Saint Louis very beautiful . We ate almost every night in a different bistro in many different areas . We loved the food and presentation, but not the prices , as the US $ was quite weak .We walked our legs off , and saw many different neighbourhoods . There were no breakages . Thankyou for sharing your home with us . We had been talking about this trip for months and now it is just a memory. Weather was warmer than expected and wore a heavy coat only one night

Good Heavens , has it been two weeks already . We have had a great time . The modem ha been working well as has everything else . I am enjoying watching the swallows swoop up in the sky over the childrens play yard , it has been such a pleasure to watch them and hear them play. Yesterday was a gorgeous day for the celebration at the Bastille . I want to apologise for breaking one iof the beautiful wine glasses - I accidently knocked it over reaching for more cheese . I hope we can find a replacement without too much problem
