ExteriorDescription

This apartment resides in a 17th century “Hotel Particulier,” or townhouse, built in 1640. Guests enter the property through a wrought iron gate, which leads to a small, paved courtyard. To ensure guests' security and privacy, there is an intercom and an entry code at the entrance to the building. Once in the building, a spiral stone staircase with wrought-iron railings leads to the apartment on the second floor. The building is kept by a custodian who has lived there for 20 years.

InteriorDescription

(100 m2) Second floor (no lift).
This apartment, with its luxurious and tasteful décor, was featured in Southern Accents magazine in November 1998, and in Italy's Dove magazine in 2000. It features 18th and 19th century oil paintings, precious antiques, three marble fireplaces (for decorative use only), and Versailles parquet floors. Two ceiling-high windows bathe the apartment in natural light and offer a view of the River Seine and the Right Bank. The main room of the apartment has a sitting area, a dining area, an office area, and a second “bedroom” area. This small bedroom used to be a dining room, so there is no door, but it is separated from the other areas of the room by a taffeta curtain. It has a queen-size bed. The office area of the room is wood-paneled, and there is an antique desk with a fax/Internet connection available. The sitting area has a large wooden coffee table, comfortable green chairs, large armchairs, and a fireplace of gray marble. The dining room area has a round, antique wooden table for four people. The kitchen is fully-equipped, and it has a breakfast table and a washer/dryer unit. The separate master bedroom has a king-size bed (can be converted to twin beds upon request), an armchair, Versailles parquet floor, a marble fireplace, and an en suite bathroom that has a tub/shower combination with a handheld showerhead and a curtain.
