In the heart of the historic Marais district,  narrow medieval streets and ancient houses rub shoulders with splendid 17th and 18th century ‘Hotels Particuliers’, those grand private mansions of bygone days.  Today many have become museums and the Musée Picasso and the Musée Carnavalet – the Museum of the History of Paris – are just a few blocks away. The streets of the Marais are full of wonderful old buildings, secret courtyards and other architectural beauties. A favorite of both Parisians and tourists.
 
A short walk to the east takes you to the most beautiful 17th century square in Paris, the Place des Vosges, and to the west explore the elegant arcades of the Palais Royal as well as the designer boutiques on the Place de la Victoire. The rue des Francs Bourgeois, one block away, is another shopping favourite, with lots of boutiques open on Sundays!  The Seine is within 10 minutes walk and just over the river you can explore the Ile St Louis and the Ile de la Cité (Notre Dame, the Conciergerie, the Sainte Chapelle) the flower and bird market, are also within easy reach by foot.      The Louvre is also within walking distance, and the metro will take you direct to the Champs Elysées in an easy 10 minutes.  Restaurants and cafés from simple to sophisticated, according to your mood and appetite.  The perfect base from which to enjoy Paris both by day and by night!
 
We especially recommend  this sophisticated and spacious apartment (some 50m?) which has been newly renovated to an excellent standard.  An elevator (plus half a flight of stairs) take you to this second* floor apartment.  Tall windows on every side, combined with pristine white walls and fresh print fabrics, ensure that the apartment is bright and luminous.   Double glazing and polished parquet with rugs throughout.   The entrance hall leads to the sitting/dining room with sofa, armchairs, dining furniture and cable TV (CNN) and two big windows with a view over the rue Vieille du Temple and a magnificent ‘hotel particulier’.   Also off the hall,  Japanese style fabric paneled sliding doors open onto the Bedroom,  overlooking roof tops and a quiet side street,  with marital bed, good storage, and an excellent en suite shower room with washing machine.  Separate WC.     
  Excellent well-equipped Kitchen  – dishwasher, microwave, 2 electric burners.     Electric radiators throughout.        Initial linen supplied.   Local line telephone.

*Cultural note! In France we count ground floor, first floor, etc
