In the evening, dine in the neighborhood or return home to prepare your own gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. End the day with a quiet stroll or just relax in the Jacuzzi before retiring, waking up in the morning to the sound of the birds in you own quiet courtyard before greeting the new day as a Parisian.

Much of today's Paris is a newer city than most people realize. In 1853 Napoleon III commissioned Baron Hausmann to modernize the city, when he created the Grand Boulevards and signature buildings we call Hausmanian. Fortunately, the Marais district, which was then seedy and run down, was spared Hausmanns reconstruction. For that we should be grateful, since it is now one of the loveliest parts of the city and the most complete example of pre-revolutionary architecture in Paris.
 

Located in a 400 year old historical building just one block behind the Place des Vosges, in the heart of the Marais, this apartment was recently totally renovated, complete with air conditioning, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and a modern bath complete with Jacuzzi. Luxuriously furnished for 2 to 4 persons with antique reproductions, it is a delightful place to return to after a day visiting the sights of the city. Dine out or prepare a meal at home, then stroll through the neighborhood. Enjoy the street performers, visit the boutiques or sip a glass of wine in one of the many local bistros. Snug and cozy in the winter and air conditioned cool in the heat of summer, it's the perfect place to relax and prepare for your next day.
