Paris English Forums

The apartment is located in the heart of the Marais, within a few minutes walk of some of Paris most significant attractions. The Place De Vosges, Picasso and Carnavalet Museums are all literally within touching distance of the front door. Indeed the area is Frances largest historical district and home to a 700 year old Jewish quarter. But the Marais is no ghetto, its 17th Century architecture acting as a stunning backdrop to one of the citys most vibrant neighbourhoods. An area which boasts some of Paris finest restaurants and cafes and which poses a challenge to even the most serious and sophisticated of shoppers.

In keeping with its historic surroundings, the apartment is located on the second floor of Htel Herouet, one of the Marais Htel Particuliers. These Htel were the smart townhouses built and occupied by the aristocracy, intellectuals and nobility of Paris 17th Century court. The unit, one of only five apartments in the building, is accessed through large wooden doors on the street and then via the sanctuary of a private courtyard. The unusual triple aspect of the apartment and its floor to ceiling shutters provide an abundance of light and tranquility. Whilst the rich hues of the traditional walnut floor and comfortable furniture give the apartment a warm and intimate feel.

Although the 17th Century beams and other period features have been lovingly retained, the apartment was completely remodeled by a leading Paris architect in 2006. The unit includes 2 marble bathrooms with power showers, 2 walk-in closets and a luxurious kitchen. A fully equipped utility room includes separate Miele washer and dryer. Bath and bed linens are of the finest quality and have been specially selected and imported from London.

The space is tailor made for a group of friends or young family to sample life at the heart of this unique pre-revolutionary quarter of Paris. The apartment comfortably sleeps six with two double bedrooms (air-conditioning should be installed in each by mid-June) with king sized beds and a double sofa bed designed for everyday use. A 36plasma TV, DVD, cable TV and ADSL are the finishing touches that combine the privacy and comforts of home with an historic Parisian setting.
