This is le vrai Paris! Ask any Parisian where they would like to live and ultra-chic Monceau will always be on their list - and pourquoi pas? It has everything...
The apartment is right at rue de Levis, one of the best year-round street markets in Paris. You can find everything you need for a picnic, a sumptuous ready-made meal at home, or the makings of your own feast. Outstanding charcuteries, poissonnerie, fromagerie, boulangerie, the best wine shops, bakeries, chocolates - it is all just a few steps from the front door.
Metro Villiers, one of the best metro stops in the city, connects you to Metro lines two and three, giving you quick, no change access to most of Paris's highlights - everything from the Champs Elysee to Galleries Lafayette!
Although it is very centrally located, the apartment itself is tucked away on a tiny side street (just 1 block long), providing a quiet haven after a day (or night!) in the city. Once inside you will find a bright, well-laid out, and inviting pied a terre. The apartment has windows on both sides which provides light throughout the day.
The wide plank, herringbone, parquet floors date the apartment to some time before 1875 and some of the antique furniture in the apartment is from the same era. Original ceiling mouldings grace the main rooms of the apartment.
The entry foyer of the apartment has a large storage area for extra linens, towels, coats, suitcases, and more. It is a great spot to drop your bags after a day shopping.
This foyer leads directly into a living room with large windows, an antique armoire and bookcase (with plenty of guide books about Paris) as well as a traditional French gold mirror over the fireplace.
One of the rare features of this apartment is the large dining room. Bright and sunny, the dining room has a lovely antique table making it just right for enjoying a meal at home or some coffee and a fresh croissant in the morning. There is also desk in this room with a computer and always-on broadband internet connection.
The very well-equipped kitchen has all of the conveniences you need to prepare anything from light snacks to full meals (made with a fresh selection of ingredients from the rue de Levis marché).
The bathroom is accessible through the bedroom or the kitchen, so that there is plenty of privacy should there be someone sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room.
The cozy bedroom has a comfortable queen-sized bed, ready to fall into at the end of a busy day. It is also a lovely room to wake up in as it has a window directly across from the bed. There is a classic armoire to store your belongings in, reading lights on either side of the bed and an alarm clock (although we hope you have come for a relaxing vacation and won't use it too much).
The bright, combined toilet and bathroom have all the modern amenities needed. You will enjoy a good hot shower, with good water pressure, and an over-sized shower head to give you a great start to the day. And if you are attentive to details you will notice something familiar about the tiles in the shower!
Parc Monceau, unknown to most visitors, is just a short stroll away. Built by the Duke of Burgundy in 1769, it became a park in 1860. Since then Monet has painted it, newly weds are photographed amongst its faux Roman and Egyptian ruins, children play, joggers jog, and local residents gather to enjoy the beauty and calm.
Come and see for yourself the magic of Magnifique Monceau... It is all waiting for you.
