August, 2008 special - €900/week or €700 five days!
Light, ancient beams, tasteful antique furniture, ceiling-high great
windows looking over a medieval street…come experience our very
Parisian Marais residence...one, but easily converted to two private
bedrooms, sleeping four!
New:
five day rate
discounted English-speaking car service from Paris airports
Entirely redone in 2004, we equipped our place with the most modern
amenities, yet set in a late-18th century building only three blocks
from the Seine. We are in the heart of the best of Paris; five
minutes from Notre Dame, the same from the elegant Place des Vosge—
what luxury hotel could provide all this?
Outside? The pre-revolutionary Marais quarter, a microcosm of the
treasures that make Paris, well, Paris. Sipping jasmine tea at
Mariage Freres, an elegant salon de where waiters in cool, white
linen waft by with steaming pots, glistening tarts and plump, golden
madeleines. Shop at the antique stores in Village St. Paul, a maze
of medieval courts and passages behind the the eponymous Eglise..
Inside, relax in our one-two bedroom, 76 sq cm apartment, on a high
floor fronting on the rue Roi de Sicilie. It is dominated by
its "double-sejours,” two rooms separated by large, French doors.
One of these can easily become a quite private second bedroom, and
comes equipped with a new convertible sofa. Three floor-to-
ceiling French windows border the two rooms, flooding them with
light. Herringbone parquet floors throughout.
We have furnished almost entirely with antiques, including two 19th
century brass chandeliers, 18th century recommier, fauteuils,
oriental carpets, oil paintings…oh, yes, we have two brand-new
upholstered sitting chairs at the dining room table (sent from the
US!). Walls are various shades of white, including ceiling
border. All are top of the line. And why not? NOT a for-rental
rehab..we decorated as tastefully as we could as this was our own
place.
Kitchen is comfortable by Marais standards. We love that it is a
separate room, with all new top-line Miele appliances. We wanted a
cheerful, sort of bistro feel...friends say we succeeded!
Bathroom features a comfortable large soaking tub, with integrated
shower. A brand-new washer-dryer is also in the bathroom. WC is
separate.
Bedroom: queen American-size bed, beautiful linens, full-size
Victorian stand-up mirror, silk curtains, built-in bookcase, plenty
of closets (built-in as well), phone.
Other amenities: Brand-new flat-screen LCD TV, DVD, CD, with four-
speaker: home theater type sound...really nice system. Noos cable
is available.
Located on the 4th floor--European-style--but the landings are not
as long as some 19th century places. No lift.
Location: Isle St. Louis about a 5 minute walk (along a passage
through a monastery). One block from rue, Vielle du Temple and only
a few more from the boutiques, cafes, and chic Paris shopping.
Three or four blocks from one of our favorite "places du calm" in
Paris: Place Marche de St. Catherine, and a bit farther along, the
Place des Vosges.
Home theater (LCD TV, DVD), Dishwasher, Washer/Dryer, basement
storage.
Heart of Marais, three blocks from Seine, Place des Vosge..all old
Paris at your feet!
