It is a two bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of a 19th century Haussmann building. It is adjacent to the Jardin du Luxembourg and was completely renovated to contemporary standards in early 2007. Its ideal location is perfect for those who want to explore Paris but also want to inhabit it like a native. It is literally minutes away from the Bon Marché, Cafe de Flore and just short promenades to the Musée d'Orsay, Notre Dame and the Sorbonne. Its high floor and courtyard settings makes it quiet, luxurious retreat from the bustle of the urban city life of St Germain des Pres.
The rich urban decor enlivens the classic living room. The living room features a plasma TV, DVD player, and full stereo, including iPod dock. The apartment is wired for Ethernet and convenient WIFI internet connection.
Modern furnishings and original French art complete the elegant and comfortable living room and dining room. Benefiting from its position on the top 5th floor (6th floor American), the living room captures sunlight well into the evening and is a warm room for entertaining, a quiet evening reading, or watching the plasma TV.
The dining room features a beautiful table, designed by the legendary Mario Bellini, in natural oak stained in grey, with seating for up to eight, for entertaining or dining at home. Art work Philippe Girardeau.
Color and contrast provide a perfect setting for breakfast, lunch, dinner and conversation with friends around the table.
