Sure to please
all visitors to Paris, this newly renovated (July 2010) one bedroom apartment
in the heart of the sought-after 7th Arrondissement has
a very ‘open’ feeling, with wide open ‘blue sky’ views… Just a glance
to the side out the windows allows you to look upon the
fabulous golden dome of “Les Invalides” that is the final resting place of
Napoleon and site of a large War Museum. Off in the distance you
can even see the famous Montmartre Basilica. You can’t miss
this at night as it lights up the sky!
This beautiful
Parisian holiday rental apartment is on the 4th floor with
an elevator that stops in between each
floor so you have only a few steps each time in or out. The rental
is 34 m2
in size (about 370 sq ft) and has a queen sized bed plus a double
size sofa bed in the living room for up to 4 adults. The owners have
lovingly renovated everything from new floors, to
appliances to all
furnishings. Rich decorator colors, together with a modern style,
provide a very comfortable and quiet
place to return to at the end of each day. This area is very much
worth exploring, with the large green expanse in front of your place
that runs along a long avenue, (good for picnics or just people
watching!) You also have the Rue Cler area with its permanent open
Market only 10 minutes away, plus the Rodin Museum only 5 minute
walk. Also, Parc Champs de Mars with the Eiffel Tower is just about a
10 minute walk from here.
Even though there are so many interesting things close by to the
apartment, exploring the rest of Paris is as easy as stepping out of
the apartment and catching #92 bus that goes directly to Ecole
Militaire, Champs de Mars, Avenue des Champs Élysées which is just 10 minutes
by bus. Or the #82 bus going directly to Luxembourg Gardens in the
heart of Saint Germain des Prés area in one direction and to the
Eiffel Tower in the other. Because of the importance of this location,
the Paris Open Tour bus - a tour bus that covers the important sites
of Paris with it's open upper decks - stops just steps from the apartment.
The apartment 'house book' will fill you in
on the ‘little known’ avenue de Saxe Farmers Market, which is set up twice per
week and is just a few minutes away. It will guide you to
great bakeries and restaurants, in fact there is one in your
building itself - around the back and no noise - which has a lovely
outside terrace with a direct view on the golden dome. More than just a burial place, the Invalides has many
attractions to visit: it was built by the 'Sun King' Louis 14th who
also built most of Versailles. The original purpose of Invalides was to pay homage to France’s War
wounded and today in fact, it still functions in part as a hospital to
care for many elderly and handicapped veterans. It has beautiful gardens, a
war
themed church, plus an incredible museum for most wars France has
fought in, set up in chronological order.
This fine apartment
features all new furnishings, with very comfortable beds. The bathroom
is located off the bedroom and has a large shower with a sink and a WC. The
kitchen features an oven & stove, microwave, a full size
refrigerator/freezer (220 liter total size - about 8ft3)
and a couple of barstools to use at a small countertop. There is also
a dining table for up to 4 people. A combo washer/dryer
unit in the bathroom is also available for your convenience. The sofa
is the pullout type, yet quite comfortable and is double size for 2
adults. Little extras like an alarm clock with I pod dock and
a complimentary bottle of wine…are all provided. See full list of
amenities below.
Whether you visit
Napoleon’s final resting place or not, you will certainly think that both this
great area and this great cozy apartment is fit for a King (or
Emperor…!).

Our Paris experience was definitely
enhanced by this lovely apartment; nothing was lacking really. We loved
the neighbourhood - it was so beautiful and quiet, yet so very close to
restaurants, etc. And to be so close to Dome Des Invalides was just
wonderful; each evening after a hard day's sightseeing, we called in to
Cafe le Vauban for a refreshing glass (or two!) of wine. The apartment is
definitely recommended! Also helpful was the English speaking taxi driver
on our departure for Charles de Gaulle.
WE can't wait to return!!!

My husband and I came to Paris to
celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The
apartment is so nice, new, clean and quiet. We found the location perfect
as well. The first night we walked to the Eiffel Tower. The next day, we
took "l'Open Tour" and were able to get on 1 block away !! It was great !
We were able to see so much of this great city in a short amount of time.
Thanks for sharing your place with us !! The Andersons, Palo Alto,
California, USA
- Our stay in your lovely apartment has been
memorable and l'Avenue de Ségur is a perfect place to stay. The apartment
set up is very practical and comfortable. I have slept in a bed so close
to the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte ! Many thanks ! Julia D. Perth,
Western Australia
The apartment was centrally located, and quite
convenient from a tourists point of view, we have no regrets whatsoever!
Thank you! Adesanya H., Olney, MD
I absolutely loved my
apartment! It was the perfect size in a great location. I love to cook, so
it was ideal for me to have a fully equipped kitchen and a wonderful
pedestrian market within walking distance. (My only comment was that I
could have used a chef's knife for chopping.) It was also very convenient
to have a washing machine as well as an iron and ironing board.The
location was very good too. I liked being close to the lively St.Germain
district, but being able to come home to a safe and quiet neighborhood. At
the end of a busy day, it felt like a peaceful place to call "home." I
always slept well to, as the bed was quite comfortable!
Overall, I
felt this apartment was an outstanding value, and I will definitely be
returning next year. I am in love with Paris, and this is the perfect
location from which to enjoy all the city has to offer. Laurel S.,
Northvale, MI
Everything about this experience was
excellent. The apartment was a dream, both comfortable and modern,
with everything in tip-top condition. Who would ever stay in hotel when
they could stay in an apartment such as this one? Your staff was also
excellent. Every question was answered thoroughly and promptly, and
everything went off without a hitch just as described. I especially
appreciated the recommendation for the shuttle service to and from the
airport; it was so wonderful to have that arranged before embarking on
the trip! Mary G. Syracuse, NY
