Description

This beautiful One-bedroom apartment (550sq feet), located in one of the most sought after area of Paris : the St. Germain des Pres, is available to rent, by the week (1400euros/week) or by the month.

Located on the 2nd floor (without a lift), this East-facing is full of lights, cheerful, charming and cosy.

It has been renovated to a very high standard by the current owner, who uses it as a perfect « pied à terre ».

The floors are covered with comfortable carpet, there are two windows (all looking out onto landmarked historical mounument : the Fondation Dina Vierny), and two (non-working) fireplaces - one in the living room, one in the bedroom.

Modern conveniences include a small but well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with a bath-tub and shower, washer-dryer, efficient electric heating, and cable television with access to English langage channels. As for the furnishings, they include an elegant and comfortable sofa in the living room, a s top quality Queen-size bed in the bedroom, and a television with English language channels.

Kitchen is equipped with oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, Expresso café machine, and all the necessary cooking utensils. There is also an iron and iron board.

The Saint Germain des Pres area

The apartment is between the rue du Bac and the Boulevard Raspail. Within easy walking distance are the Musee Maillol, 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. And because Saint Germain des Pres is home to so many of the city's most fashionable people, the streets themselves provide a glimpse of elegant Parisien style.

For Gourmets...

Within a ten-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".

Practical Matters

As for more practical concerns, a two-minute walk from our front door takes you to the intersection of Boulevard Saint 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.

If you plan to have a car with you during your stay in Paris, there is a public underground parking garage beneath the Rue du Bac. If you would like to rent a car for a day or two, there is a Renault Dealership nearby. They offer a complete range of vehicles to rent, from tiny compacts to minivans.

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.
