Three tall windows, one in the bedroom, two in the living room, make the apartment bright and cheerful. The comfortable living room is tastefully furnished with period furniture and artifacts, dining table and chairs for six, valuable old prints, attractive drapes, and blue wall to wall carpet. Stereo system, television, and telephone.
The kitchenette, against one wall of the living room, is hidden from view by a tasteful curtain. It is equipped with small dishwasher, two-burner cooktop, electric oven, and half-size refrigerator. The bedroom has twin beds with an elegant canopy. Modern bathroom has new shower, washbasin, toilet, hair dryer, and good, well-lit mirror. Quality linens provided.
The apartment is located a few feet from the Place des Vosges, a lovely, historical, planted square, bordered with 17th century brick mansions. This is the heart of the fashionable Marais neighborhood. Once a wealthy area in the seventeenth century, the grand mansions from this era contribute to the areas charm and character. Many of these buildings have been restored and converted to museums. Among these are the Carnavalet, with exhibits that trace the history of Paris from Roman times, and the Musée Picasso. The Marais is full of interesting boutiques, antique shops, small squares, and restaurants. Also of interest is the Rue des Rosiers, the Jewish quarter, which contains synagogues, kosher restaurants, and bakeries. |
