This luxurious and unique basement apartment is located at courtyard level in a 16th century building, dating from 1586 and originally the residence of King Henri 1V. It is situated in rue des Francs Bourgeois, right at the heart of the Marais, and a few steps away from the stunning Place des Vosges. The rue des Francs Bourgois is the Marais’ most renowned shopping street, with many beautiful boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants.

The apartment is steeped in historic atmosphere, yet equipped with modern furnishings and appliances. Comprising 1600 square ft., it has been designed in an open-plan style, making it very spacious, with large ground floor level windows allowing for light. The vast open space includes a bedroom area with large double bed and a wonderful custom-designed zinc and copper bar. There is also a pine sauna and a 6-person Jacuzzi, plus jet massage shower. Equipment includes air conditioning, telephone, fax, printer, cable TV, Bose hi-fi system and high speed internet access.
