Location: Paris Arrondissement 4, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (in the Heart of the Old Marais) View Map
Accommodations: Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Two Storey Duplex Apartment
Located in the very heart of the Marais in the street which owes it’s name to the knights of the round temple (the Templiers) who first gathered in what is now called the Rue Vieille du Temple this two storey duplex apartment is set in an original "hotel particular" (mansion house) built in 1622. The term Hotel Particular refers to grand old private mansions built around a courtyard.
From Rue Vieille du Temple walk through the large wooden 17th Century carved doors and enter the green oasis of the central courtyard to reach one of the building wings. From here take the elevator leading to our 17th Century Maison apartment, one of only two duplexes built on the last two floors.
Facing both the beautiful interior courtyard and the street, this bright, quiet and spacious 90 square metres (970 square foot) home sleeps up to six people.
With wonderful roof top views of the old houses of the Marais you can see the magnificent stone and slate roofs as well as the street scenes of the Rue Vieille du Temple.
The architect who designed the interior space created a mix of old venerable home with great vistas. The huge living and dining room have stone tiled floors and arched ceilings with bold architectural steps leading to the upstairs bedrooms. Keeping the original wooden beams, white stucco walls and stone fireplace he created a truly romantic hideaway.
The kitchen is practical and has all modern appliances such as washing machine and dishwasher.
The bathroom has a bath with shower, water closet and a window giving you lots of light.
Look through any of the nine panoramic windows and gain a fascinating insight into the days of glory of the old kingdom. The apartment is bathed in light in all rooms throughout the year and cool breezes in the spring, summer and fall.

Enjoyed our 10 day holiday in Paris. Very nice apartment. Charming. Fully stocked kitchen; many books including information about Paris. Not huge, but large enough for a family of 4 and BRs are upstairs which is good. Extremely well located on vibrant Marais street full of a mix of pattiserries, boutiques, bistos, brasseries and interesting stores. A block away from some of the best fallafel in the world. A short walk (30 mins or less) to many, many places. A little oasis that we looked forward to returning to after a busy day.

My family & I had a wonderful stay in your delightful maison. It was well located to take lovely walks from and we enjoyed the extra touches such as the bottle of wine on arrival. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here. It is more a home than a holiday apartment.

We had such a fantastic stay at 17th Century Maison. For 10 days we felt like we were living as Parisians - just what I had dreamed of. Highly recommend the book in the apartment on Great Eats in Paris. We chose a different one most nights we were there - and one is 20 meters up the road! The location is superb and the apartment spacious and cosy. Highly recommended. Many thanks

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment felt like a home and we really appreciated the little extras such as the guidebooks and the pram that we could use. The apartment is in a wonderful location, you could feel like a local for a little while.

We have just returned from a fabulous week with our 2 teenagers in the 17th Century Maison. The appartment was exactly as in the pictures, spacious comfortable, clean and full of charm and character. The area was wonderful and made an ideal base from which to explore Paris and was full of restaurants, little shops, and exciting streets to explore. All the arrangements worked perfectly and we would really recommend this appartment as a lovely place to stay and would certainly come again!

This is a delightful property and is very well equipped with views over the courtyard. The Marais is great a area for restaraunts, bars and boutique shops whilst also being very centrally located for everything you would want to see. Michele also made everything very easy to organise.

The 17th Century Maison provided a wonderful nest for our three week "residency" in Paris. The accomodation was even more spacious than we had expected. The apartment is comfortable, clean and spectacularly located for traditional Paris tourist attractions as well as just assimilating the Parisian life. Restaurants, boulangeries, bistos etc abound in this stimulating neighbourhood. Michele, Wila and the cleaning lady were delightful, available and responsive. The ability to have our family and grandchildren drop in comfortably for a few days made this a truly memorable experience.

Spent a week in this lovely apartment. It's all you see, and so much more. Just a charming place, and a great location. Also, Michele and her local staff are wonderful people to deal with. Little problems were taken care of "illico presto." I'll happily stay here again. Hard to decide whether to recommend or keep this one to myself !!
