Vacation Rental Description
The Rue de Grenelle is widely regarded as one of Paris’s best
addresses. Running from the Champs de Mars (Eiffiel Tower), it
passes through the Invalid (Napoleon's Tomb), the Ministries area,
and come to the heart of St. Germain des Pres. Within easy walking
distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the
Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (official residence of
the French Prime Minister).
Our apartment building is just at the corner of the rue de Grenelle
and the Boulevard Raspail. It’s 1 minute from the subway station
(Rue du Bac), and 3 minutes from the Le Bon Marché (Paris’s
equivalent of Saks Fifth Avenue).
The apartment is in a “Directoire” style building, approached by
entering through a long courtyard, decorated with green plants.
There is no elevator, but the wooden stairwell has been well
maintained, and spacious to climb up to the third and the last floor
easily.
The apartment is 220 square feet, charming and cosy. It has been
completely renovated in the spring of 2003. There is a big window
looking out onto the courtyard and the little garden next–door.
Modern conveniences include a small but well-equipped kitchen,
bathroom with spacious shower, washer-dryer, and electric heating.
As for the furnishings, they are also new as of this year (2003),
and include a top quality double bed, a television with English
language channels, etc.. We could also supply a comfortable folding
bed upon request. But the apartment cannot accommodate more than two
adults, but could possibly suit a couple with a very small child
(there would be an additional charge). Naturally, we supply towels,
sheets, duvets, and other necessities.

Activities and Attractions
Within easy walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the
Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon
(official residence of the French Prime Minister). For those who are
more interested in shopping than sightseeing, the immediate area is
also full of famous designer shops (Christian Dior, Yves Saint
Laurent, Louis Vuitton...), as well as lesser known but equally chic
Parisian boutiques.
For Gourmets...
Within a five-minute walk of the apartment are two major attractions
for food lovers: La Grande Epicerie de Paris, and the Organic
Market. Gourmet magazine (March, 2001) referred to La Grande
Epicerie as "The ultimate grocery store...the first place we stop
when we arrive in town". The same issue of Gourmet describes the
Organic Market (an open-air street market held every Sunday morning
on Boulevard Raspail) as "by far the best-known and trendiest of
Paris's outdoor markets".
As for more practical concerns, a two-minute walk from our front
door takes you to the intersection of Boulevard St. Germain and
Boulevard Raspail. Here, there are bus-stops (leading to virtually
everywhere in Paris), a taxi stand, and a Metro station (Rue du
Bac). There are several banks, a post office, numerous cafes and
restaurants, as well as a variety of other useful shops. These
include bakeries, a butcher shop, a fish market, an
excellent "traiteur" (selling superb take-away food), and a grocery
shop open 24 hours a day.
Whether you are visiting Paris for the culture, for the shops, or
for the food (or all three!), our apartment on the Rue du Bac is the
perfect place for beginning and ending each day's adventures.
