What an absolute little gem! Tucked in a quiet private alley, away from cars and in retreat of the main street, this is a lovely vacation rental, ideal for a week long stay in Paris. Set amongst the greenery of a picturesque cobblestone "passage" of the Marais on the ground floor, the apartment is completely furnished and benefits the authentic architecture of Old Paris with wood beams and the charm of antiques. The passage is completely closed off from the public at night and you access is via a digicode.
The Marais and Montorgueil are at your doorstep! These are lively areas filled with gourmet food stores, fresh fruit and vegetable stands, flower shops, outdoor cafes and restaurants. Montorgueil in the 1800's, was defined as the Mecca of gourmets like Balzac who considered it the meeting place of the best society of Paris. This is still true today as a recent edition of Frommer's guide has rated rue Montorgueil the best market street in Paris. Along with the Marais, it is a favorite among Parisians for dining and food shopping and is very fast becoming in vogue and the place to be. You have the best of both worlds with this beautiful vacation rental!
