25 Rue Charlot, 3rd arrondissement, Paris, France. Metro St. Sebastien Froissart (5 minutes walk), Metros Republique or Arts-et-Metiers (10 minutes), Metro Rambuteau and the Pompidou Center, Metro Hotel-de-Ville and the Seine, or Metro St. Paul (all less than 15 minutes). 30 square meters or 300 square feet. Ground floor. Sleeps two to four.

This beautiful completely renovated garden apartment is located off the historic courtyard of a classic Parisian building in the Marais, among the oldest in Paris. The age of it will be obvious when you first see the exposed posts and beams on the wall of the courtyard itself, recalling the way Paris looked in the 17th century.

The apartment has the feel of a country cottage in the heart of Paris, with its short pitch of slate roof and its double French doors and French windows opening onto the garden. All in all, its location makes it a one-of-a-kind, romantic oasis of calm in the Marais.

Renovated by a designer with North American and Australian travelers in mind, the result is a successful amalgam of old world charm and modern style. The apartment consists of one big room that serves as bedroom and living area, a separate and fully equipped kitchen, and a full deluxe bath. In the main room and bath are beautiful exposed stone walls, and the original thick oak beams are exposed on the ceiling as well.

The floor has wide oak boards in the main room, with a welcoming antique kilim rug, and antique stone tile in the kitchen and bath. Throughout there are clean lines and harmonious touches of color, giving a very aesthetically pleasing, peaceful ambience.

Hand carving graces the antique bed frame, while the bed itself is brand new and of the highest quality. For bedding, there is a down comforter, 100% cotton blankets, 100% cotton sheets, and four French pillows. The exceptional quiet of this apartment will further enhance sleep. The sofa is large and very comfortable, and hides a comfortable full-sized bed should it be needed. A small Paris bistro style table sits by the window for meals, and a wooden table serves as a small desk.

There is a TV, a DVD/CD/MP3 player with radio, a cordless phone, and an answering machine. A high speed ADSL Internet connection is available if you have a computer. You will also find a few classical and jazz CD’s, a selection of interesting books, including many on Paris and France, and reading lamps.

The kitchen has lots of charm and modern appliances: a full-size oven, four burner stovetop, built-in refrigerator with freezer, microwave, toaster, hand mixer, and coffee maker. It is also well-equipped with all utensils for cooking and eating. The bath is beautifully done with deluxe modern fixtures, a large bathtub, a deluxe shower (it’s superb!), and both a washing machine and dryer tucked away in a closet. A hidden extra is a double-size hot water heater, so you should not run out. There is also a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and vacuum cleaner. All linens, towels, and soap are supplied.

Tucked away on the corner of rue Charlot you will find a secret place only locals know about - the wonderful little open air Marche des Enfants Rouge, recently renovated but on the site of the oldest market in Paris.

Rue Bretagne has its own offering of excellent shops including butchers, bakers, traiteurs, wine, fruits and vegetables, and right on the corner one of the best fromagers (cheese shops) in the city. There is also a large supermarket conveniently nearby.

The neighborhood is chock-full of antique shops, funky designers, and art galleries on the narrow streets. There are many great little restaurants and cafes with terraces, as well as charming Parisian parks. The Picasso Museum is literally just around the corner, as is all the rest that the Marais has to offer, from the magnificent Hotels Particuliers (17th century city mansions), many housing museums, to the famous Place des Vosges.

The apartment is very secure: The neighborhood is very safe. To get in the building requires both a code to get in the main door and then a key to get through an iron security gate. The door of the apartment itself has a high security lock. The windows have security blinds that close tightly over them if you want to leave for any length of time, and the windows themselves also have locks. In short, there are more security features than you need! Especially for this lovely, quiet neighborhood.

What we offer our guests: We will be there to meet you at the apartment and explain how everything works. We can give you recommendations for the best little hard-to-find restaurants, and help make reservations if you would like. If you have any problems in Paris, we’ll try to help. Our goal is to help you live in the neighborhood like a local French person, an experience you would never have in a hotel.

IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION: The best way to contact us initially is by email. Please just click on the button "Click to inquire" below and fill out the form. We will respond as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours. If you do not receive a reply, please call us as there may have been a problem with the reception of the email.
