This Paris apartment rental is located in the developing northern fringes of the Marais. This pre-revolutionary quarter is a microcosm of the treasures that make Paris, well, Paris. Swamped with craft workshops, innovative galleries, ancient alleyways and lavish town mansions, modern Paris life blends into the remnants of a vivid past. 'Picasso's' modern execution, with its immaculate white-washed walls, parquet floors and elegant quality designer furnishings reflects this blend, the building pre-dating the French Revolution! This Paris vacation apartment has been meticulously decorated and furnished (September 2004) to provide a high level of comfort. Much thought has been put into the use of Italian lighting, designer furnishings and fabrics that lend an elegant yet homely atmosphere. Both the drawing room and master bedroom have cabled televisions, you can eat at the dining table or kitchen bar, the bathroom is ultra-modern with a multi-jet jacuzzi shower. There is even air-conditioning. If you want to experience the history of Paris with all the mod-cons, you can't go wrong with Picasso.
This Paris apartment comprises 1 double bedroom with electronically adjustable orthopaedic bed, very large drawing-dining room, top of the range bathroom and kitchen, separate WC. Bright and double-glazed throughout, it looks onto a wide, quiet side-street and an interior courtyard.
In the historic quarter of the 'Marais', just across the river from Notre-Dame, life, art and culture pour out in a rich stream that splashes the streets with colour. Sip Jasmine Tea at the elegant 'Mariages Frères' where Parisian chic meets colonial ambience. Follow the ancient street signs engraved in stone. Explore medieval alleyways. Push open doors leading to romantic courtyards. Add a fairytale dusting of lavish "hotel particuliers" (private mansions) with gilded gates and graceful gardens and the Marais is the best of Paris distilled into a strong, seductive brew that will leave you thirsty for more.
