Paris Rental
Property # 9188


Property Description
The apartment building is just at the corner of the rue de Grenelle and the Boulevard Raspail, neighbouring with a little flower shop with beautiful roses and the best cheese shop of the 7th arrodissement!

It’s 1 minute from the subway station (Rue du Bac), and 3 minutes from the Le Bon Marché (Paris’s equivalent of Saks Fifth Avenue).

The apartment is in a “Directoire” style building, approached by entering through a long courtyard, decorated with green plants. There is no elevator, but the wooden stairwell has been well maintained, and spacious to climb up to the third and the last floor easily.

The apartment is 220 square feet, well distributed and all space are well designed and used. it is charming and cosy, and has been completely renovated in spring 2003. There is a big window looking out onto the courtyard and the little garden next–door. Modern conveniences include a small but well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with spacious shower, washer-dryer, and electric heating.

As for the furnishings, they are also new as of this year (2003), and include a top quality double bed, a television with English language channels, etc.. We could also supply a comfortable folding bed upon request. But the apartment cannot accommodate more than two adults, but could possibly suit a couple with a very small child (there would be an additional charge). Naturally, we supply towels, sheets, duvets, and other necessities.

Activities & Attractions
The St-Germain des Pres area
Our apartment is at the corner of Boulvard Raspail et the rue de Grenelle, between the boulevard Saint-Germain et the Le Bon March. Within easy walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (official residence of the French Prime Minister). For those who are more interested in shopping than sightseeing, the immediate area is also full of famous designer shops (Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton...), as well as lesser known but equally chic Parisian boutiques. And because Saint Germain des Pres is home to so many of the city's most fashionable people, the streets themselves provide a glimpse of elegant Parisien style.

For Gourmets...
Within a five-minute walk of the apartment are two major attractions for food lovers: La Grande Epicerie de Paris, and the Organic Market. Gourmet magazine (March, 2001) referred to La Grande Epicerie as "The ultimate grocery store...the first place we stop when we arrive in town". The same issue of Gourmet describes the Organic Market (an open-air street market held every Sunday morning on Boulevard Raspail) as "by far the best-known and trendiest of Paris's outdoor markets".
Practical Matters
As for more practical concerns, a two-minute walk from our front door takes you to the intersection of Boulevard St. Germain and Boulevard Raspail. Here, there are bus-stops (leading to virtually everywhere in Paris), a taxi stand, and a Metro station (Rue du Bac). There are several banks, a post office, numerous cafes and restaurants, as well as a variety of other useful shops. These include bakeries, a butcher shop, a fish market, an excellent "traiteur" (selling superb take-away food), and a grocery shop open 24 hours a day.
If you plan to have a car with you during your stay in Paris, there is a public underground parking garage beneath the Rue du Bac. If you would like to rent a car for a day or two, there is a Renault Dealership right next door to this apartment. They offer a complete range of vehicles to rent, from tiny compacts to minivans.

Whether you are visiting Paris for the culture, for the shops, or for the food (or all three!), our apartment on the Rue de Grenelle is the perfect place for beginning and ending each day's adventures.
