The Rue de Grenelle is widely regarded as one of Paris’s best addresses. Running from the Champs de Mars (Eiffiel Tower), it passes through the Invalid (Napoleon's Tomb), the Ministries area, and come to the heart of St. Germain des Pres. Within easy walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (official residence of the French Prime Minister).
Our apartment building is just at the corner of the rue de Grenelle and the Boulevard Raspail. It’s 1 minute from the subway station (Rue du Bac), and 3 minutes from the Le Bon March? (Paris’s equivalent of Saks Fifth Avenue).
The apartment is in a “Directoire" style building, approached by entering through a long courtyard, decorated with green plants. There is no elevator, but the wooden stairwell has been well maintained, and spacious to climb up to the third and the last floor easily.
The apartment is 220 square feet, charming and cosy. It has been completely renovated in the spring of 2003. There is a big window looking out onto the courtyard and the little garden next–door. Modern conveniences include a small but well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with spacious shower, washer-dryer, and electric heating. As for the furnishings, they are also new as of this year (2003), and include a top quality double bed, a television with English language channels, etc.. We could also supply a comfortable folding bed upon request. But the apartment cannot accommodate more than two adults, but could possibly suit a couple with a very small child (there would be an additional charge). Naturally, we supply towels, sheets, duvets, and other necessities.
It is also one-minute walking distance from my other apartment on rue du Bac (ref: 23846). In the event when you come to Paris with your friends, and would like to stay together, but not in the same apartment, this would be the best arrangement. Or simply your party is more than 2 persons.
