One Bedroom Paris Rental Near Sorbonne

This one bedroom apartment has been completely renovated. The apartment offers a separate bedroom with a full-size bed and closet space, one bathroom with bathtub/shower and toilet, full-size fold-out sofa (new Dec 2011) in the living room, a dining area with table and 4 chairs, kitchen, and a balcony.

The apartment is sunny with direct light in the afternoon. The living room overlooks the street with two doors leading out to the balcony, which stretches the entire width of the apartment. There is an elevator for those worn out by the daylong walks. The apartment is located about 10 minutes by foot from the Luxembourg Gardens, the palace built in 1612 for Marie de Medici, and the Pantheon, the final resting place for all of France's most famous citizens.

The RER train lines, which provide direct access to both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports, are less than 10 minutes by foot or 2 bus stops from the apartment.

Besides the central Paris location of the apartment, the real plus of this apartment is the market on rue Mouffetard, less than 5 minutes away by foot. Rue Mouffetard is Paris' oldest street, and was once the direct route out of Paris to Rome. The food market, created by the monks who came to this area in the 12th century to sell their produce, still thrives today, and in contrast to many of Paris' other food markets, which are held twice weekly, rue Mouffetard is open six days a week, closed only on Mondays. For anyone who loves French food, or wants to prepare some of their own meals, this is the place to shop.

At the head of this narrow cobblestone market street is Place de la Contrascarpe, often referred to in Hemingway's Moveable Feast, which he wrote when living less than a block from this simple square. The 'Mosquée de Paris' is only five minutes away by foot, and still operates as a Muslim temple. Its hammam is open twice per week for men and women (separate days for each), and is a hidden treasure when it comes to soothing sore 'I can't walk another step' muscles.

The Sorbonne University is less than a five minute walk away, so the neighborhood is filled with France's best and brightest minds, and though one would think it had long since disappeared, these same students can be heard today, arguing politics, in the small and inexpensive cafes nearby.

I wanted to personally thank you for the great experience we had with Vacation In Paris the end of April. No hassle. Everything as expected. While this should be normal in business, it often is not. So, thanks for saying what you'll do and doing what you say. More than that, the apartment (Sorbonne one bedroom) was charming, well located and the perfect complement to our first Paris trip. In fact, the apartment experience has now spoiled me for hotels -- why be surrounded by tourists when you can become part of the community? And, please, pass along a 'merci grande' from Sophie and myself to everyone associated with our stay.

The location was excellent for street scenes and walking to great locations, especially Rue Moufftard. The apartment was just as it was represented, plenty of closet space for 2 adults. The kitchen was a bit small, but we did not plan on cooking any meals, so it worked nicely for us - an extremely comfortable space.
