Paris centre (Seine) opposite Le Marais (canal)

Spacious, sunny Belle Époque apartment with all modern conveniences, this apartment is ideally situated at the juncture of the Seine and the Canal St Martin, looking out on the on the Port de Plaisance (Paris marina). It is available from mid-August through mid-September 2013 and long-term starting January 13, 2014.

With one street leading to the nightlife of the Bastille, the charm of the Place des Vosges and the hip atmosphere of the Marais, the other to the elegant Ile Saint Louis and Notre Dame Cathedral, you will have Paris at your feet ... and an extremely comfortable place in which to put those feet up at the end of the day. We've renovated this 93m2 apartment to provide all modern comforts, while keeping the 19th-century charm of the mouldings, wainscoting, and original parquet floors. Our tenant/guests keep coming back because they appreciate the apartment's spaciousness and light, and the feeling of being "chez soi". You'll even find sugar, spices, tea and coffee waiting for you in the kitchen!

Sleeping spaces: The apartment has two bedrooms that look out on a very quiet, private garden belonging to the building. The 'master' bedroom has a 160 cm wide bed, and the 2nd bedroom, a 140 cm wide bed. This means that the apartment is suitable long-term for three adults maximum, or for a couple with one child (or possibly two very young children). Slightly larger groupings have rented in the apartment for stays of a week, making use of the sofabed in the salon.

NEWS FLASH: The 'mystery woman' for whom Leonardo diCaprio is searching in the OPPO "Find Me" ads was spotted in this apartment! (That is, the commercial was partially filmed here. See: http://tinyurl.com/3dnpdwk or Google "Oppo Find Me")

We were very happy with this apartment. It is a lovely space in an excellent location. The rooms are large, with period features such as the panelling on the walls and decorative plasterwork on the ceiling. The tall front windows overlook the Canal St Martin and provide lots of light. We found it comfortable and very well equipped. The markets, restaurants and small specialty food shops in the neighbourhood are a delight. The owner, Laura, was extremely helpful with all manner of practical suggestions about the apartment itself and the services in the neighbourhood: thanks to her we found a wonderful bakery and some fine places to eat out, shop for other groceries, or get a glass of wine. The gardens along the Canal are lovely, taking you along a short walk to the Bastille (and thus the opera). From there it’s just steps into the Marais and on to other places we wanted to visit. Like her, we also became attached to the #63 bus that takes you through the Left Bank to both well known and little known attractions. (Try the taxidermist, Deyrolle, for instance.: it’s astonishing.) We found that the 12th had its own relatively unknown attractions, like La Promenade Plantée - an elevated parkway on an abandoned railway line - a wonderful oasis with ponds and gardens and views from its higher elevation that provide a very different perspective on nearby buildings and streetscapes. Also nearby in the 12th was Parc de Bercy, with a Frank Gehry designed building (now a cinema museum) and the stunning Simone de Beauvoir pedestrian bridge crossing the Seine to the striking new Bibliotheque Nationale. We really enjoyed being able to walk to so many interesting places – and then come back to a place that was so spacious and comfortable.

This apartment is perfect. The 12th is not that well-known but it has everything except the rush of tourists. Great markets, great restaurants, easy to walk to the Marais and/or the Left Bank Latin Quarter. The tall front windows facing the Canal St. Martin allow light to come steaming in while the back windows onto a courtyard brings in early morning sun and a cool breeze. The rooms are spacious and well furnished and there is everything in the kitchen any good cook would appreciate. The TV has scores of stations and lots of movies that can be heard in English with French sub-titles. The best part is Laura, who owns the apartment with her husband John. France is not America and mechanical operations are not high on the list of French concerns but there is no need to worry. If anything goes awray a quick phone call to Laura and she gets it taken care of. There is no way to emphasize how important that is. This is our second turn here and we are already committed for next year. Eugene Shapiro Excellent Eugene Shapiro 3/3/2011 4:45:00 AM
We were very fortunate indeed to find such an ideal apartment for our needs in Paris. We have been living in the apartment for the last eight months and have two more months remaining. It is a large two-bedroom apartment with everything one needs. It is very nicely furnished and the beds are quite comfortable. The rooms are large with lots of light. We have a lovely view of Canal St. Martin just before it joins the Seine from the large front windows and a very nice garden view from the rear windows. The metro and two train stations (Austerlitz and Lyon) are very close and we have found that we can walk almost anywhere. We take classes at the Sorbonne and walk there, through the Jardin des Plantes, in twenty minutes. The apartment is on the premier etage for very easy in and out access. There are wonderful markets very close by. By coincidence, and only after finding the apartment on the web, did we discover that the owners live in our neighborhood. They could not have been more helpful in every respect. We have now seen several apartments in Paris as a result of friendships we have developed and there is not one that we would choose over this one. The price, in our view, was very good considering all that we have here. Our stay in Paris has been exceptional in every respect and this apartment has been a major reason for that.
