Apartment Building
A splendid 2 room apartment (50 m²/535 sq. ft) with a bright and uncluttered view over the centuries-old and historic Les Halles area. 17th century building.
A large living room with an open-kitchen incorporates every modern convenience (air-conditioning unit, micro-wave and regular oven, ceramic hotplates, smoke-extractor, dishwasher etc.).
Modern, elegant cupboards conceal a high quality retractable single (Murphy) bed that provides accommodation for a 3rd person if required
In the bedroom itself, there is a double bed and a custom-built wardrobe fitted into the wall (with a private safety box). A sumptuous bathroom is just opposite with a bathtub, shower, washing machine and heated towel racks.
There are old, original wooden-beamed ceilings in every room. For hot summer months, there is air-conditioning relief which keeps the apartment cool - and quiet at night!
The building is nearly 3 centuries old and has great character. There is no elevator, so there’s a 3 flight walk-up. But the climb is worth it!

Your Neighbourhood
This is in the area of the former great Les Halles marketplace (the Belly of Paris), which has now become the Forum des Halles (a 4 level deep shopping mall with a vast underground Metro and RER express train system beneath that). Ambitious new projects have been completed to create an exciting new hub of activity – as well as an improved Jardin des Halles, opposite the ancient 16th century Eglise St. Eustache, providing a quiet haven of tranquility.
Many of the streets have been narrowed, paved with mosaic marble tiles and the pavements and sidewalks have been broadened to accommodate the outdoor cafés and produce shops that spill out on to the sidewalks. Around the famous rue Montorgeuil, electronically controlled bollards have been installed to inhibit traffic entering the area, unless for deliveries and emergencies. Outside, it is surrounded by the Jardin des Halles (currently being renovated) – lots of quiet spaces, lawns, trees and plants. A few streets northeast is the Pompidou Arts Centre. The next street east is Rue St. Denis, where various hidden aspects of Paris live on. The Louvre, Marais and Notre Dame are perfect short walks away.
