Imagine enjoying your own private retreat in the heart of Paris--a place you can relax after every thrilling, but exhausting day of visiting museums and palaces, of strolling along grand boulevards and threading through medieval passageways, and of indulging in too much shopping and eating. Envision a place with no grumpy desk clerk or housekeepers who wake you up too early.
At nearly 51 square meters, the apartment is spacious by Parisian standards and can comfortably accommodate up to four adult guests. A fine collection of original Art Deco furniture and accessories from the 1920s and 1930s is supplemented with modern upholstered pieces, bedding and hi-tech appliances. The walls are decorated with a growing collection of original early- to mid-20th century oil paintings of Paris landmarks. A private balcony, stretching along the full width of the apartment, is an ideal spot for people-watching, enjoying a simple meal, reading a book in the sunshine or sipping a flute of champagne before dinner.
The sun-filled living room is a welcoming spot for relaxation or entertaining. It accommodates a generously-sized seating area, a dining area and a fully-equipped computer work area. A laptop computer is provided, and guests are welcome to bring their own computer for use with our unlimited WiFi. A WiFi color printer/copier/scanner/fax is also available. Rainy days are made more tolerable with HD TV, pay-per-view videos and video gaming.
The apartment's private spaces show equal attention to elegance and convenience. The bedroom, larger than most Parisian hotel rooms and furnished with the finest quality bedding, is a restful spot to gaze out over the rooftops and plan the day's adventures. Sophisticated Italian stone tiles, natural lighting and a glass-walled walk-in shower contribute to the calming spa-like atmosphere of the bathroom.
The large, professionally-designed kitchen is furnished with the latest, high-efficiency appliances to make cooking and cleaning a pleasure. The space easily accommodates the preparation of a gourmet meal as you watch the lights atop the Eiffel Tower trace a patch across the night sky. A dinner party for 8? No problem!
In addition to the apartment itself, we can also supply additional services that will make your stay in Paris truly memorable. Just about anything is possible with sufficient advance planning--private airport pick-up, gourmet treat or luxury bath baskets, dinner reservations, theatre tickets, weekly cleaning services, etc. We encourage you to let us know what you desire to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Living in our vacation apartment will allow you to discover a side of Paris you've never experienced before, even if you've been a frequent visitor. Set away from the most touristy areas, our neighborhood is a place where the Parisians you'll encounter every day are those who are on their way to work, escorting their children to school, relaxing in the park, or chatting with the merchant next door. You'll find them to be friendly, helpful and genuinely pleased to see you enjoying their neighborhood!

Map & Owner's Profile
Elegant Art Deco Paris Apartment-Batignolles Village
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 17
We purchased the apartment for our own personal use with the idea that we might rent it out occasionally--mostly during the summer months when we wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Since that first year, however, we've had such demand that we're rarely vacant more than three or four weeks a year. Many of our guests return year and year and have standing annual reservations. It has been a pleasure owning this apartment, but more importantly, it has been a pleasure making so many friends around the world who share our love for the apartment and for Paris.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Our friends always ask us what we did when we return from a stay in Paris. Often we look at each other and then shrug our shoulders. We just live daily life--selecting a type of produce we've never tried at the market, lingering over lunch, enjoying happy hour--all the little things we can't seem to find time to enjoy in our normal lives. We like rekindling friendships with the clerk at our favorite bakery, watching the old men play very serious games of petanque in the park, and reading the newspaper at a cafe and listening to everybody laugh about the latest scandal. We like prowling the weekend antiques markets and visiting our favorite dealers scattered around the city. Sometimes, we catch a train from one of the nearby train stations and spend a day in the countryside. In short, we've been visiting Paris three or four times a year since 2000, and we still haven't run out of things to do!
Napoleon III's exceptional naturalistic-style park, complete with rushing streams, waterfalls, lakes, an arboretum, and antique carousel.
One of Paris' two organic street markets presents dozens of vendors of seafood, vegetables, cheese, meats, honey, lambswool, flowers, etc. every Saturday morning.
The famous Paris Flea Market is only a 20-minute bus ride from the apartment.
Paris' fabric district is superb place to find bolts of designer fabrics and accents.

Our visit to Paris was fabulous. We are so happy we chose this apartment. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we could possibly need. Your welcome book was so helpful and Lauren welcomed us warmly. We had plenty of space for our family of four and enjoyed some quiet evenings out on the terrace. We loved the bakery around the corner and found the location to be just perfect! Thank you!

It didn't take long to feel an attachment to your home away from home. The conveniences you have provided are in a word "complete". I can't think of anything you haven't thought through in providing total comfort.

What a wonderful week--made all the more memorable and comfortable with this lovely apartment! It was all of the little things that really stood out--the lavender soaps and sachets, for example! Thanks for everything! The only negative is all the weight we gained from the delicious cheese, bread, pate and wine!

Soon we close the door and take our memories home to Florida. I chose rue Truffaut as the destination that fit my 60th birthdays dreams--and it was truly a dream come true.

Our 12 days on rue Truffaut have been magical. The apartment provides us all our needs. Its location to nifty bakeries and restaurants satisfied our every need. We were here with our grandson who just turned 14--what a great experience for him. Thanks for this wonderful setting to show him Paris. C'est magnifique!
