Exceptionally well situated right on a corner on the Ile St. Louis, between the right and left banks of Paris, this charming third floor apartment has been facing the Parisian activity on the Pont Marie bridge, and the Seine, for over two hundred years. Originally a 17th century hostelry, there is still a tavern (one of the oldest in Paris) on the ground floor of the building. There are numerous shops, restaurants, cafés and services close at hand within the St. Louis ‘village’, and it is also just a short walk to the Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, Pompidou Centre, the Marais and Latin Quarter. The apartment, accessed by a wooden staircase, has been decorated and furnished with taste retaining an old world charm, including original features such as wooden ceiling beams and a working fireplace. With its breathtaking views of the Seine and Pont Marie bridge it is a romantic base from which to explore Paris. The spacious living/dining room has cream coloured walls and carpets, and floor to ceiling windows allowing for plenty of light. Amenities include cable television (with international channels), stereo CD player and telephone with answer machine. Entrance to the building is by intercom device, and there is no noise disturbance from the tavern downstairs. It is a non-smoking apartment and pets are also not allowed.
