Elegant, typically Parisian apartment, easy access to all tourist highlights.

Our apartment combines elegant period features - fine wooden floors and moulded ceilings - with discreet modern additions such as soundproof windows. It's a pleasure to wine and dine in our large living room, which looks out on a wide, tree-lined avenue and the new Sorbonne 3 campus designed by star architect Christian de Portzamparc. There are two comfortable bedrooms - if you're not an early riser the blackout curtain in bedroom 1 keeps early morning sunshine at bay. There are several good restaurants nearby. We have some excellent bakeries in the area, a small supermarket just opposite the building and an organic food store around the corner. Our kitchen is well equipped for those who enjoy cooking and relaxing at home after a busy day's sightseeing. Ours is a quiet area just 3-4' walk from Place de la Nation, where the 12th district borders the 11th and 20th. The metro station NATION gives access to lines 1, 2, 6, 9 & RER A, making it very easy to get to the most interesting tourist spots: line1 is direct to the Louvre, the Champs Elysées and is just 4 stops (roughly ten minutes) from the Marais area with its beautiful old buildings, the Place des Vosges and a multitude of trendy boutiques. Taking line 1 to "Tuileries" (9 stops, 15') on a fine day, you can walk through the Tuileries gardens and cross over the Seine to the Musée d'Orsay, with its magnificient Impressionist collections. Line 9 will bring you directly to the big department stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, and also close to the Paris Opera house. Line 2 will bring you close to Montmartre, the Sacré Coeur, the Moulin Rouge cabaret. The RER A is a direct 30' ride to Disneyland. You can also enjoy a stroll to the Bastille and Marais areas on the "coulée verte", an elevated walkway which inspired the New York Highline. The nearest entrance is a 5' walk from our building, and Place de la Bastille then just a pleasant15' stroll through this beautifully-kept garden walk. If you take it in the other direction it leads to the Bois de Vincennes, with it's lovely Parc Floral, a zoo and an excellent childrens' playground. We are a short bus ride from Père Lachaise cemetery (or 4 métro stops on line 2) where so many interesting historical figures are buried, including Chopin, Molière, Edith Piaf, 0scar Wilde, to name just a few from a long list. We could go on for hours, but the best thing is for you to come and stay at our place and enjoy exploring this wonderful city!

During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Place de la Nation. Laundry facilities are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a microwave in the apartment.
