This elegant 60m2 apartment rental is well
located near to the Opera Garnier, in the artistic enclave of 'La
Nouvelle Athènes', once home to Delacroix, George Sand amongst
others. The Goncourt brothers lived in the building and the
calm of the area drew Renoir to set up studio next door. The
apartment is bright with South and West-facing windows that overlook
private gardens onto Chopin's former residence. An artistic
feel and sense of calm survive to this day. All the more
striking considering this is the heart of Paris. If what you
are looking for in your Paris apartment rental is soothing elegance,
then you cannot go wrong with 'Garnier' . Furnished to a high
standard with antique furniture and modern soft furnishing, 'Garnier'
very much feels like a home and is full of character. The
period drawing room is decorated in the Louis XVI style with its 18th
Century fireplace, antique mercury looking glass, original French
'secretaire' desk and antique ornaments that include an interesting
17th Century pharmacist's mortar! A rare Prussian chimney
dominates the dining room (marble ornaments and antique porcelain) with
its original Louis XVI dining table which offers a more formal
alternative to eating in the kitchen.
La
Nouvelle Athènes' is a mysterious, often overlooked quarter once
beloved of artists of the Romantic era. Long-forgotten
actresses and demi-mondaines had mansions built here and some of the
prettiest of these miniature palaces can be found in tiny streets
adjacent to 'Garnier'. The apartment overlooks the remarkable
Square d'Orléans, an ensemble of flats and artist's studios which
attracted the glitterati of the day. No surprise then that the area is
so popular today. Local restaurants are excellent and cater
for all budgets and tastes. , For fresh produce, the
well-known rue des Martyrs is one of the best markets in
town.
