Space and style greet you in this fabulous one-bedroom Parisian apartment! Located on the first floor (one flight
of stairs above the ground floor), this apartment is a true gem. Freshly repainted and professionally decorated,
each room has been lovingly designed with your needs in mind. With a star-shaped floor plan, rooms are large
and meet at the foyer of the apartment, which ensures privacy for parties of four. The living room, which faces
the lively rue Fontaine, features a high-quality sofabed designed for daily use, a dining table and chairs, an
overstuffed chair and ottoman for lounging. Double-glazed windows also ensure a tranquil respite from a day of
touring the city. Off the other side of the entryway, you'll find the lounge/study, with cable TV, a DVD player, two
comfy leather club chairs and a separate writing desk near the window. The master bedroom is just off the
lounge, and faces a peaceful courtyard. The full kitchen means a quick trip to an open market or the grocery
store just two doors down is all that's needed to whip up a gourmet meal.
In the Neighborhood
Just two blocks south of the Moulin Rouge, you'll find the neighborhood lively in some directions, quiet in others,
so let your spirit of adventure guide you and dive in!
If you're a "foodie," you'll have several choices: Head straight north up rue Lepic and stock up on fresh food
on this charming street made famous by the movie "Amelie," or head east a few blocks and you'll be at the top of
rue des Martyrs, a fabulous shopping street described in a 2005 New York Times article as "a slice of village life"
that will "satisfy that perennial desire for discovery." Let your taste buds lead the way and find your
neighborhood favorites.
If you love chocolate, don't miss Denise Acabo's acclaimed (and adorable!) chocolate shop just up the street
from the apartment, L'Etoile d'Or. Unlike many sterile chocolate shops in Paris, you'll find her store overflows with
warmth and never fails to delight visitors and locals with her array of sweets. A great stop for gifts to bring back
home, too. Our pick: Try the chocolate-covered beurre sale caramels if you want a little taste of heaven or pick up
a few Bernachon chocolate bars.
If you're traveling with kids, two small neighborhood parks are nearby. Head downhill to the sweet little park
on the square at St. George or walk west on rue de Douai to play on the jungle gym and sandbox at Square
Berlioz.
Hop on the Métro
Your closest stop is Blanche on Métro line 2, but just a quick walk downhill is the St.George stop on Métro
line 12. The 2 line heads west before curving south to the Champs Élysées. In the other direction, it drops you
at the foot of Pére Lachaise cemetery. The 12 line heads north to romantic Montmartre or south to the Musée
D'Orsay and the chic seventh arrondissement.
Don't Miss the Bus
Take the 68 bus south on a direct route to Galleries Lafayette, Printemps and the Opéra Garnier, across the river
and to a stop that drops you within yards of Musée d’Orsay. Or, try the 74 bus, which makes it easy to get to
sites in the old center of the city, including Notre Dame and the trendy Marais. Pick it up near
the Moulin Rouge and take it to the steps of Hôtel de Ville and the very worthwhile BHV department store.
