This apartment enjoys a unique and prestigious location on the Quai aux Fleurs on the Ile de la Cité, right in the heart of historic Paris, and facing the famous City Hall. The Ile de la Cité is in fact where the city of Paris originated, from its very beginnings as the Roman colony of Lutèce in 55BC. It is famous today not only for the stunningly beautiful Notre Dame cathedral, but also for the Sainte Chapelle, the Palais de Justice, the Conciergerie, the City Hall and the flower market; hence the name ‘Quai aux Fleurs’. The adjacent Ile St. Louis, with its charming village atmosphere, shops and restaurants, is within a few minutes walk. It is also within easy walking distance of the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre and the Latin Quarter.
The apartment is on the third floor of an elegant 17th century building (with lift). Four tall windows, framed by beautiful blue and cream curtains, offer wonderful views of the Seine, the Right Bank and the Ile St. Louis. Moreover a private terrace, complete with a small round table and two chairs, provides a perfect setting for breakfast or evening cocktails while watching the panorama on the river below.
The interior of the apartment is very light and features wooden parquet floors with oriental rugs, ceiling mouldings and attractive antique furniture, including a Louis XV chest of drawers surmounted with a large gilded mirror in the living room. There are bronze candelabras in each of the two bedrooms and framed engravings and lithographs adorning the walls. Amenities include telephone with answering machine, ADSL internet access, hi-fi stereo with CD player, cable television (with international channels) and secure entrance with intercom. This is a non-smoking apartment and pets are also not allowed.
N.B. This apartment is being completely renovated during Spring/Summer 2008 and will be available again for rent from Autumn 2008.
