Location: The Marais, oldest and most colorful neighborhood in Paris. This apartment has an unobstructed view of the Seine and the Isle Saint Louis, and is just a block from Metro Line 1, providing easy access to most of the city's historic monuments, from the Bastille Opera to the Louvre to the Champs Elysees.
Description: On the fourth floor, with elevator, of a late nineteenth century building, this centrally air-conditioned (!) 31 square meter (336 square feet) apartment is bathed in light from three large south-facing windows. Antique oak floors have been lovingly restored, and the kitchen and bath are finished with elegant porcelain tiles which echo the pale hues of a seventeeth century Parisian limestone wall, a portion of which is exposed in a decorative niche. There is more than adequate storage for luggage and clothing making the apartment comfortable and practical for a stay of any duration. Decoration and furnishings include raw silk drapes with sheers, comfortable sofa-bed to accomodate a third person, dining table and chairs with seating for four, and a writing desk with hi-speed computer connection. Built-in niches at the head of the bed are equipped with switches for reading lamps and room lighting, and a digital alarm clock.
Why do I love this apartment?
-It has been restored by American Designer R.O. Flinn who is known for his meticulous respect for historic detail without conceeding any modern comforts and practicality.
-The view is magic: you are one block from the river on the right bank, and the rooftops of classic French architecture cradle the view, while the streaming sunshine bathes the apartment in warm parisian light.
What other services can we provide?
Our apartments are managed by a small hotel nearby, so we offer full concierge services, reservations, breakfasts, etc. and I would be happy to arrange for our private car service to pick you up at the airport and deliver you and your luggage to your Parisian home. |
