Experience the charm, character and life of old Paris in this
completely new studio in a historic and beautiful 17th century
building located in the prestigious 2nd Arrondissement, a “Quartier”
rich in history and one of only two in the city to retain a village
atmosphere.

Situated in the historic Montorgueil district, rue Marie Stuart is
a small and narrow cobblestone street extending about 50 meters
between rue Montorgueil and the arcades of the Passage du Grand Cerf.
Located in a pedestrian district full of small shops, cafés,
restaurants, bakeries, markets and a steady stream of Parisians, rue
Montorgueil is the last remaining vestige of the great “Halles de
Paris” – the central market that moved out of Paris proper in the late
1960s. It is one of the most lively and picturesque parts of Paris.
Small shopkeepers sell fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, fish, and an
assortment of meats, cheeses, and bread in open shops. Some of the
restaurants and stores date back as far as the 17th century! Enjoy the
village feeling and sense of place.
You will find the bustle and
discriminating ambience of Paris until late at night on rue
Montorgueil.
But just step into the building on the rue Marie Stuart and leave
all the hustle and bustle behind. The building has been completely
renovated in the past 10 years in order to modernize the
infrastructure while maintaining its historical integrity. It features
a locked grill at street level and a locked entrance door to the
stairwell. The studio has a new security lock. Quiet, secure and
convenient, the studio is situated on the second floor (two floors up)
of this small well kept 17th century building. Looking onto the small
interior courtyard, it provides a perfect balance to the lively world
of the streets outside. The apartment is completely new (June 2009)
and features a new oak floor, an open designer kitchen and designer
bath with large shower, designer furnishings including a first quality
sofa bed and an ottoman. A
designer closet/media center bookshelf houses the flat screen
television, entertainment center, Wi-Fi and telephone and provides
space for clothing.
Rue Marie Stuart is located in the heart of Paris. The Seine, the
Louvre, the Garnier Opéra, the Grands Magasins, the high fashion
district of the Faubourg St Honoré, the Pompidou Center, the Marais
district, the Sainte Chapelle, and the Latin Quarter are all within
easy walking distance. The same is true of the shopping center at Les
Halles, the Palais Royal, and the Tuilleries Gardens. In the nearby
Forum des Halles, you will find a large selection of shops including
the largest FNAC (books, films and music) in the city, a large public
swimming pool and a Cineplex, complementing the variety of cafes,
restaurants, and shops on rue Montorgueil. Transportation could not
be more convenient from this fantastic location. If you cannot walk
where you want to go, there are three metro stations (les Halles/Chatelet,
Etienne Marcel, Sentier) and three rapid transit lines (RER lines A, B
and D) within a five-minute walk of the apartment. The central bus
stop at Place Chatelet is also within a few minutes’ walk.

The previous guest still in apartment when we arrived at
10:00 am. They were kind enough to let us leave our suitcases
in the apartment. Kitchen was well outfitted and all the
new linens and towels were appreciated. Apartment was
quite warm so thank goodness for the fan. I can't imagine what
the temperature would be like in the summer. The location was
the best thing about this apartment.. close also to the RER
which was handy for airport transportation.
Yes, we
met the apartment manager and cleaner as they were still in
the apartment making up the bed at 2:00 when we returned. They
were both very friendly.
It was a unique experience to
live in an authentic neighbourhood and to have limited
exposure to other tourists. Your staff have been very
informative and helpful on the phone. I will absolutely book
with you again and my brother will rent one of your apartments
this spring instead of his usual hotel booking based on my
positive experience and having seen your web site. Barbara
