Paris Ile de France France Vacation Apartment

This luxury apartment is on the fifth floor of a 19th-century building in the heart of the Marais between the Archives National and the Pompidou Center. There is a two-person elevator that lets you skip the stairs to reach this bright and airy height. There, you experience classic charm with modern convenience in this remarkable rental property.

The best shopping and sightseeing in all of Paris are at your doorstep in this ideal third arrondissement location. You can walk to the Louvre, the Place des Vosges, the Seine, the Musee Carnavalet, the Picasso Museum, the Jewish Museum, and much more. And when you're tired of walking, you can bicycle: this flat is convenient to the new "Velib" system of almost-free bikes available throughout the city -- and just two blocks from this flat. The Marais is one of the most picturesque districts of Paris with a concentration of historic buildings, museums, and streets that have not changed their contours in centuries. At the same time, it is an increasingly hip neighborhood with popular shops, restaurants, and destinations.

The flat is located on a block that is a particular favorite of Parisians for its exceptional food purveyors, traiteurs, patisseries, and locally prized restaurants and cafes. It is also just a few yards from the important new gallery, L'espace Claude Berri, designed by Jean Nouvel and located in the adjacent Passage Sainte-Avoye. Indeed, the Marais is fast becoming the major gallery neighborhood of Paris.

The flat has been lovingly restored to its original charm, complete with oak herringbone floors, 200-year-old floor tiles, and the original French double windows flooding the interior with sunlight and breezes, and offering views of the rooftops of old Paris. The apartment is beautifully appointed throughout with antique furniture, oak and mahogany armoires, and period lighting.

The decor, furnishings, and color scheme are traditional French - but in every other detail, the apartment is thoroughly modern. There is a full kitchen with new appliances, remodeled bathroom with bath-tub and American-style shower, separate water closet (toilet), and a laundry room stocked with clothes washer, dryer, and ironing board with iron (use optional, of course). Modern amenities also include a flat-screen television, cable channels (including CNN) and high-speed internet access with wi-fi. In the winter, there is plentiful central heating via radiators. In the summer, there are standing fans and table-top fans, as well as the sublime breezes made possible by the floor-through design of this elegant flat, with windows front and rear.

The bedrooms (each with a queen-size bed) are at opposite ends of the apartment. This layout ensures optimal privacy, making the flat perfect for families, friends, or two couples traveling together, and ensuring that both bedrooms have light and air.

As a special feature of this rental, you'll find a personalized guide, written for you by the apartment's owners based on their experience, steering you to the best restaurants and shops in the area. It's like having your own personal tour of the best of Paris.

You will be greeted at the apartment upon arrival by our bilingual Paris liaison, who will give you the keys and show you the apartment. She is also available to solve any emergencies should they arise.

Contact us now for 2008 and 2009! We still have availability for many weeks, and Paris always is in full swing and looking its best in every season.

Note: This is a non-smoking apartment, with no pets allowed.
