The Ile St. Louis, right in the heart of the city, is one of the most charming and exclusive neighbourhoods in Paris. A wide range of restaurants, shops and services are close to hand, while a five minute walk will bring you to Notre Dame cathedral, Beaubourg and the Marais. This bright and stylish apartment, with its exquisite river views, is situated on the first floor of a stately 17th century building, the Petit Hôtel Particulier de Marigny. It is a wonderful and restful base from which to explore Paris.
Access is via an impressive iron gate and cobblestone courtyard, then by a beautiful curved stone staircase to the first floor. Elegantly appointed with high ceilings, the living area has floor to ceiling windows offering magnificent views of the Seine and the Right Bank. Beautiful antique furniture and a impressive marble fireplace add to the feeling of old world luxury. Furthermore, there is also a private terrace with table and wrought iron chairs, plants and flowers, the perfect place to sit and relax, or enjoy breakfast, lunch or cocktails on a summer evening, with the river flowing just metres away. At night it is magical with the poplar trees on the quay and the lights of the Bateaux Mouches below. The cosy bedroom on a mezzanine level offers the same views without even having to get out of bed!
Further amenities include cable television (with international channels), stereo hi-fi system with CD, telephone with answer machine, ADSL internet access and soundproofed windows. There is a live-in custodian for security, as well as intercom entrance device. Please note that the bathroom has quite a low ceiling, so may be uncomfortable for anyone over 6’ 1”.
