Very chic newly renovated Paris holiday rental apartment that features a large private Patio with lots of greenery! There is even a showcase glass-enclosed ‘green aquarium’ inside the flat, with more green garden-type plants, to make you feel ‘surrounded’ with Nature… This place has just been renovated (May 2008) with ultra-chic and tasteful decoration, sure to please all!

The Marais area is full of specialty shops and restaurants and this is a prime location directly in front of the famous St. Paul church, Commissioned by Louis XIII and completed by 1641, the Church is one of the oldest examples of Jesuit architecture in Paris.

This is a very quiet, (off the street- on back side) 32 sq m² Paris vacation apartment (approx. 342 sq. ft.) with an additional 9 m² (about 100 sq. ft.) in the outdoor wooden terrace. It has a separate bedroom (double size bed) a brand new kitchen with several appliances (see below), modern style shower with ‘rain water’ or normal jet water flow, and ingenuous ‘in closet’ sink plus the WC is separate for easy use by all. There are large floor to ceiling glass partitions/windows, which allow the green terrace area ‘ into the house’, plus they open up the complete living area. If this were not enough, the property owners have even put in skylights, which allow more light and openness into this vacation home in Paris! There is a comfortable sofa-sleeper for 2 adults in the living room, for a total of up to 4 people that can share this beautiful apartment. There are enough chairs inside or outside to enjoy your meals or just relaxing to share stories about your Paris adventures.

You can cook in the small kitchen, or just bring items to re-heat or store cold in the refrigerator. Purchased all new in May 2008 is a microwave oven, double burner stove top, coffee maker and kettle, plus all the dishes and cutlery you will need.

Enjoy this special area, so close to many attractions like the shopping district of Rue de Rivoli, the Marais and Place des Vosges neighborhoods, plus you are just a few minutes stroll to the banks of the Seine and the 2 small islands in the River, where you can visit Notre Dame cathedral. The apartment building is conveniently located right by an entrance to the main Paris metro line, line #1. There's even a merry-go-round next to it for the kids! You are less than a block from a hidden-gem in Paris, a small tree-lined square, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, also perfect for relaxing, - Place St. Catherine’s.

This is of course a very comfortable and functional apartment. Please note that in order to take the pictures, a wide angle was required, so some space may be a bit smaller than they appear in the photos. We also wish to note that the outdoor small garden area is superb in the summer and nice weather, in winter of darker months it may appear a bit ‘uninviting’. It does always provide a more ‘open feel to the apartment though. The bathroom is small and has sliding doors that open directly to the bedroom, (does not provide complete privacy). Because both the bathroom and WC room do not have windows to exterior, they can at times seem a little ‘humid’. Some of the outside areas and especially skylights are cleaned by the building maintenance company. In general we wish to add that while very comfortable and functional this property is not in the pristine state it was when the pictures were taken, and has been ‘worn a little’. It will be clean and spotless of course.

Come walk and shop till you drop in this great area of Paris, then return to your beautiful garden apartment Oasis where you can enjoy very quiet and serene surroundings, relaxing and communing with Nature, so that you will be ready to go out the next day and do some-more!
