The Marais is one of the most lively and historic areas of Paris. In its heart is the Place des Vosges, the city’s oldest arcaded square. Built by King Henry IV in the early 17th century, it was known as the Place Royale and was the center of elegance and festivities. Today, the square and the surrounding neighborhood are still bustling with exquisite food shops, open-air markets, cafés, restaurants, galleries and boutiques. The Opera de la Bastille and the shops, boutiques and bistros in this chic neighborhood are also within easy reach.
Located on the first floor of a classic 19th-century building, this one-bedroom apartment is very spacious by Paris standards at 725 square feet. Recently renovated with no expense spared, it features hardwood floors, original molding, high ceilings and tall windows. Designer furnishings complement antique pieces including works of art, lamps, chests, armoires and tables along with all modern conveniences.
A corridor from the entry provides access to all of the rooms. At the end of the corridor is the living-dining room. It is open and airy with two large windows. It features a Pierre Frey-designed sofa grouped with a small coffee table in front of a marble fireplace.
Behind is the dining area with antique wood table and chairs for 4 people. Unique works of art, occasional tables, chests and lamps add to the warmth of this gracious room. The well-equipped galley kitchen is off the entry and features wood cabinets and a wood counter for preparation space.
Also off the entry is the bedroom overlooking a quiet interior courtyard. It is decorated with beautiful fabrics and a colorful carpet, an antique armoire, side tables and lamps. Completing the apartment are separate toilet facilities and a bathroom with American-style tub and shower.
A spacious apartment with tremendous style and flair in a very central and Parisian neighborhood.
