Paris Apartments 6th from Pad-A-Terre
In St-Germain-des-Prés, where a couple of our Paris apartments 6th are
situated, check out the church of
St-Sulpice, a scene of tragic passion in
the novel Manon Lescaut, and have a coffee in the Café de
Flore (172 bd St-Germain, 6th) where intellectual
bigwigs Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir used to meet.
Take rue Bonaparte to the Seine, look into the Ecole des
Beaux-Arts to sigh amid the remains of classical
statuary massed here during the Revolution (this is not strictly
allowed, but if you don't look like obvious tourists, you can walk in).
You might want to pop into the Bon Marché to buy fab goodies from
around the world. To savour of course whilst back in your holiday flats in
Paris.
All of our holiday flats in Paris
are central to this area so you may want to pop back to your Paris
apartments 6th, 1st or in the Marais for a breather. Otherwise, cross
the Pont des Arts footbridge that delivers you at the
Louvre. Walk through the ornate Cour Carré
and the Cour Napoléon, past the glorious glass pyramid and admire the
emperor's pink marble Arc du Caroussel, built for his wedding to
Josephine. Walk under the archway to reach rue de
Rivoli.
Take the rue de Rohan which leads to the
Palais Royal, a pleasure garden designed
for revelry and romancing before the Revolution and now a calm
courtyard filled with trees and fountains. If you are staying at one of
our holiday flats in Paris around the Louvre, then you
are nearby. Our Paris apartments 6th are just across the
river. In the cloisters are chic shops including
Les Salons du Palais-Royal Shisheido (142
Galerie de Valois, 1st) where you can try musky fragrances in an
18th-century inspired décor. If your feeling flushed for cash, and
don't feel like heading back to you apartment in the 6th or our other
Paris holiday flats, have lunch at the Grand
Véfour, 17, rue de Beaujolais, 1st (01 42 96 56 27 -
reservations necessary), one of Paris' oldest and most historically
powered restaurants. The mirror-studded dining room is magnificent. And
if you've got any energy left after lunch, you might consider following
our 'afternoon' tour - separate link. More realistically, you will want
to stroll back to your Paris flat and save that for perhaps for another
holiday! |
