Champs Elysees Bright Spacious Luxurious 1 bed Apartment

This is our own apartment which we use when we come to Paris to stay as we live in the south-west of France. It is very comfortable and filled with lots of beautiful antiques and artwork that we have collected over the years; it feels very homely and of course very Parisian! The apartment is open plan with a large kitchen and living area and a spacious bedroom with a king size bed. It is located in one of the prime residential areas of Paris in the 8th arrondissement, yet is only a 3-minute walk from the Champs Elysees and all its marvels. This is a very chic area of Paris, surrounded by 4 and 5 stars hotels, plus luxury stores and amazing restaurants. If you want a shopping experience then this apartment is situated in the middle of the most exclusive shopping area of Paris. All the best shops in the world are located on your doorstep - Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, Armani, etc and the outlet store la Piscine. The location of the apartment gives you all the advantages of the Champs Elysees without the hustle and bustle on living on it, as it is tucked away just behind on a small quiet street. As this is a residential area there are bakeries, grocery stores, a post office and a chemist located just next to the apartment. It is really living the true Parisian experience. It is very safe and there are police cars constantly patrolling the area. Avenue Montaigne (most excusive shopping street in Paris) and the Arc de Triomphe also are just on your doorstep, along with the famous Lido cabaret, plus the Eiffel tower is a short stroll away too. Walking down towards the other end of the Champs Elysees is the Tuilleries gardens and in the lead up to Christmas this is the most beautiful spot in Paris as the avenue is set alight with lights and Christmas markets, plus summer and winter there is a huge ferries wheel, a must for a view of Paris buy night. About a 30-minute walk away you have the Louvre, the Palais Royal, Musee d’Orsay and beyond this is the Marais area. You really do not need to take public transport as all the major attractions are walking distance from the apartment or a quick stop on the central and safe metro line.

The entry and living/dining room are on the ground floor and the bedroom is on the floor below. It is completely secured with a door code, another security door, then the apartment front door. This is a residential building with French occupants of high standing so it is very well maintained. The large windows of the apartment can be opened and have discreet security grills.
