You will be surrounded by history while enjoying every modern convenience. We have remodeled the entire building, State of the art elevator, separate washer and dryer, high security digital locks and double-glazed windows for good sound insulation allows guests to enjoy contemporary comforts in a remarkable 17th century setting.

Located on the fifth and sixth floors, the ONE BEDROOM PENTHOUSE Monbazillac boasts a comfortable queen bed, ensuite bathroom, a powder room, and a fully equipped kitchen.

The penthouse is split over two floors with an internal staircase that leads from the bedroom and bathroom on the 5th floor to the living room, kitchen, powder room and balcony on the 6th floor. While the steps are well lit and wider than usual for staircases in France, it is not recommended for guests with mobility limitations.

Just OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR is one of the most coveted secret spots in Paris, the beautiful Place Dauphine. The square is lined with historic buildings from the early 1600s and is full of trees and a few perfectly placed benches to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. It is also a popular spot for locals to play a game of pétanque, which you can enjoy watching in the square or just listen to the soft clink of the steel balls used in the traditional French game from your window. The area is also popular with lawyers who work nearby at the Palais de Justice, so there are excellent cafés and restaurants to enjoy.

Great historic area

We loved sitting on the balcony and watching people in the square. The location was awesome. We walked to everything. There are several very good restaurants just outside the front door. We would definitely stay there again.

Small but sweet!

The apartment was beautiful, just like the photos, no surprises at all. The only downside is that the rooms are very small, I think if you were travelling with large cases you would struggle to find somewhere to store them. The balcony was fabulous!

Wonderful Paris Apartment!

Check in process was fantastic! Natasja met us at the apartment and showed us all of the amenities - which were plentiful! The apartment has a washer/dryer, dishwasher, stove/oven, all the utensils you need. They provided a cute welcome basket and also milk and OJ! The apartment had tvs on both levels and 2 bathrooms. The balcony was the reason I rented this apartment to sit out and enjoy the view of the park and people below. It was perfect! Also every morning there was an umbrella stand with fresh baguettes which I particularly loved! There is also a lobby to the building, which is so nice as you can leave luggage there for later check in/checkout. There was even access to a printer and a toilet in the lobby! The elevator was also wonderful!!! I felt totally safe and we would absolutely rent again!

My New Parisian Pied a Terre

I go to Paris 1-2 times a year and this will now be my new go to. The apartment is absolute perfection. I am afraid to say this because I don’t want too many people to know about it. The place feels like my own home away from home in Paris. Everything is so comfortable. The location is fantastic. The bakery downstairs fed me every day. The only item I could point out is that a few paint touch ups are needed and a few small repairs on cabinetry but other than that it is really idyllic.

Peaceful pied-a-terre

The property, though small, was exactly as advertised, extremely comfortable and attractively decorated. We generally choose to stay on one of the two sister islands on the Seine when we're in Paris as they tend to be quieter and less trafficked at night. The flat came with all the amenities we could want for our weeklong stay and the outdoor terrace was especially appreciated as the weather was lovely and it was wonderful to sit and look out at the activity in the Place below. The bed and bedding was first-rate and the plumbing and electrical completely reliable. Having a lift, almost unheard of in these older buildings, was a real asset. The only criticism I can make is about the scarcity of storage space for clothing and luggage. There are two armoires provided in the bedroom but they are a bit too shallow to close the doors when filled with hanging garments and the room is too small for proper nightstands beside the bed. That said, we would definitely book one of these flats again and can only assume the rest of the properties these owners represent are equally as lovely and well-maintained.

Perfect, Central Location for first time visitors!

Place Dauphine is a beautiful, modern property, tucked away and private while in the middle of it all in the city of lights. As first time visitors it was a great place to get to many of Paris' most iconic sites - close to the Metro and walking distance to many attractions. Virgile was very helpful and responsive as was the entire Paris Perfect team. Cannot recommend this highly enough! We would definitely stay again.

Perfect Stay Literally in the Heart of Paris

“I feel like I have found a true gem in Paris Perfect! From making the vacation planning not only effortless, but fun -- to the ease of our making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable -- to the actual apartment itself, the entire experience was well, "perfect"! I love the "one-stop shopping" of Paris Perfect with not only lodging, but experience and service planning as well. Plus, our Monbazillac apartment in Place Dauphine was in the absolute ideal location in Paris, just steps away from the best bistros, Saint Chapelle, Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Seine, the Metro, the list goes on and on...The apartment itself was beautifully appointed, yet very homey and comfortable. We loved sitting on the balcony and hearing the bells of Notre Dame and also the saxophone occasionally and expertly played by a neighbor across the way. It felt very Parisian! My daughter and I appreciated the great communications before, during and after our trip that included a lovely welcome from Virgile upon our arrival. All amenities in the apartment were thought through and greatly appreciated as well and we often relied on the Paris Perfect recommendations and literature to plan our days. We will absolutely be back and will ONLY use Paris Perfect -- in fact, I feel at this point I only want to travel to locations where Madelyn has properties! This is the only way I want to travel from now on! Thanks Paris Perfect!

Monbazillac

Our apartment was a beautiful home away from home and we miss it dearly. The location was central and fantastic. Place Dauphine is so beautiful and special, and we loved the view from the bedroom and living room. The Paris rooftops and park was truly the best we have enjoyed in all 6 times we have stayed in Paris. The apartment kitchen and appliance left nothing to be desired. Having an extra powder room was so practical for two people getting ready.We will be staying here again!

Memorable trip!

My mom and I stayed at the gorgeous Monbazillac apartment for a girls trip and absolutely loved it! The historic building was recently fully renovated and the location is in the best area of Paris. The central location allowed us to walk to everything, but the best part was coming home to one of Paris' oldest and most charming squares. Our mornings started with cafee & croissants on the balcony and our evenings ended with wine & cheese watching the sun set. We loved just taking in the peacefulness of Place Dauphine after a long day of exploring the bustling city. My mom and I discovered a lot of beautiful areas of Paris, but we both agreed that Place Dauphine was certainly a hidden gem that we cannot wait to return to. The Paris Perfect team was fantastic from start to finish and helped us create a very memorable trip!

lifestyle—and that passion fueled the creation of our boutique vacation rental company. Our goal is to help you fall in love with Paris while discovering, exploring, tasting and savoring new sights and experiences in the incredible City of Light!

You invest a lot to come to Paris and we want you to enjoy every minute, from the moment you wake up in the morning and buy buttery warm croissants around the corner to enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sunset behind the Eiffel Tower. We know you have dozens of options to evaluate on VRBO. We have nearly 20 years of experience finding the very best vacation rentals in Paris. What makes our apartments unique is that they’re beautifully decorated, welcoming and located in the best and safest locations in Paris. Most of our apartments offer stunning Paris views for memories of a lifetime. Most important, there is a friendly English-speaking team available onsite seven days a week to help you in every way. They are there to offer a warm welcome when you arrive, to answer questions and help you feel at home.

Why they chose this property

The decision to choose this apartment was simple: location, location, location. Step outside and you'll immediately understand why Place Dauphine is one of the most coveted spots in Paris. Lined with buildings from the early 1600s, the square is full of trees and dotted with benches that are the perfect spot to sit and take in the historic setting. A popular spot with locals for a game of pétanque, you'll even hear the click of steel balls used in this traditional French game. Surrounding Place Dauphine are excellent cafés and restaurants that are popular with lawyers working at the nearby Palais de Justice, which means the quality is excellent!

What makes this property unique

Staying on the Ile de la Cité right in the heart of Paris - "Kilometer Zero" as it is called - means you're surrounded by all the best sights, museums, shopping spots and top neighborhoods to explore while you're in Paris. You can walk to all of them! Also located on the Ile de la Cité, a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral and to see the incredible stained glass at Sainte-Chapelle are a must. Cross over to the Right Bank on the Pont Neuf to visit the Louvre or explore the Tuileries gardens. Stroll along the Seine on the Left Bank to the Musée d'Orsay or explore stylish Saint Germain and meander through cobblestone streets in the Latin Quarter. Discover the beauty, romance and history of Paris at the Monbazillac apartment at Place Dauphine!
