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, cafés, restaurants, galleries and boutiques.
Located just around the corner from the Place des Vosges, this one bedroom apartment is set in a classic building overlooking a cobblestone courtyard with shrubs and plants. It is on the first floor with stair access. Totally renovated and redecorated with the highest quality materials, richly-colored fabrics and furnishings, the apartment features large windows, polished parquet floors, original molding and pastel walls. And it is air conditioned to ensure complete comfort during the warmer months. The entry way opens to the open-plan living-dining room and kitchen with decorative marble fireplace. In the sitting room are a warm red upholstered sofa and period chairs grouped around a wood coffee table. Red drapes, antique chests, tables, carpets and art accent this gracious room. A wall behind the sofa separates the living area from the well-designed galley kitchen with granite counters, white wood cabinets and pale tile floor. Adjoining are an oval wood dining table and chairs. A door from the living area opens to a beautifully appointed bedroom suite, also with decorative marble fireplace. Sea green walls set off a carved wood bed, antique armoire, lovely bedcover and drapes. Off the bedroom is a full bathroom with pretty ceramic tilework and heated towel bar. The apartment features cable television, high speed internet access and free telephone service to landlines in 15 countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Israel, China and Singapore. Calls to landlines within France and to other designated European countries are also free. A distinctive apartment in one of Paris' most historic and stylish neighborhoods. |
