Live Like A Parisian

Charming apartment under the rooftops of Paris, calm, full of light, with an elevator for convenience.
In the heart of the vibrant Marais, the apartment is surrounded by rich history, renowned boutiques, famous cosmetics and perfume shops, restaurants, and cafés. It’s also the epicenter of Fashion Week, perfect for experiencing the city’s creative pulse.

The apartment combines elegance and character, with designer furniture and unique antique pieces for a warm, sophisticated atmosphere.

You enter a stylish living room with authentic designer furniture like Le Corbusier and old pieces of art and decoration picked from auctions or antique shops, mostly from the 1940s and 1950s.
You will also find plenty of architecture books, as my partner is an architect, which you can enjoy reading during a relaxing day off after wandering around the city.

The apartment is very comfortable for both relaxing and working, with high-speed internet.
The bedroom has a beautiful view of Saint Paul Church and the Parisian sky. The bed is very comfortable, with two types of pillows, including a firm one for those who prefer it. A large wardrobe is also available.

The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, perfect for a long, relaxing bath after a day of exploring the city.
The kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with a coffee machine, an oven, and a dishwasher.

A washing machine and dryer are available in my small laundry area on the same floor.

The apartment is located on the 6th floor, with an elevator that takes you to the 5th floor.

The building, beautifully crafted in stone, dates back to the 19th century.

I’ve provided a list of my favorite restaurants and pâtisseries in the apartment to help you explore the best culinary spots in Paris.

Bed linen, towels, tea, and coffee are all included for your stay.

Your search for lodging in Paris should stop now. Rent this apartment! Mathieu has thought of everything and is an excellent communicator! The apartment is beautifully decorated and incredibly convenient to the metro and many must see attractions without feeling at all touristy. Very comfortable bed, too!

Paris Winter

My husband and I stayed in this well appointed and perfectly situated apartment for five wonderful days in Paris. The location just steps from the Place Des Voges was the perfect place to start our morning in one of the many cafes. Two metro lines were short walks away and everything we wanted to see was easy to get to. Our host was so helpful and offered great suggestions too. We will look forward to returning.

This smart, tastefully decorated and ideally located apartment is beyond comparison. Perfect situation for a couple with a small child or two adults - this was a mother and daughter trip for us and the space couldn’t have been better. The host, Matthieu is warm, helpful and accommodating. His restaurant recommendations spot on and assistance in securing airport transportation greatly appreciated.

Small but Beautiful

We enjoyed our 5-day stay in this tastefully decorated and very quiet one-bedroom apartment in a great location in the Marais, within a short walking distance to a least half a dozen museums and many small parks (e.g.Place de Vosges) and gardens (e.g. Mark Ashton Garden). I found several interesting independent shops around there, including two pop up stores selling women’s fashion made by young designers based in Paris, all selling at reasonable prices. Plenty of good restaurants nearby recommended by the host as well as by our friends and the Michelin Guide. All the furniture and items in the flat were carefully picked and put together, making for a calm visit. It’s a great place to stay for a couple who love Paris, museums, gardens, eating out and shopping.

He is as charming as Paris itself and made our anniversary trip even more special! The location can't be beat and you should stop looking for another property and book this one ASAP!

Parisian rooftops

This elegant rooftop apartment is a delight, ideally located, light filled, and very comfortably furnished. We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed gazing across the rooftops and down on to the street below. We had all the amenities we required for a short break, and enjoyed perusing the many books and magazines provided. There is even a brand new lift, French style, to take us to the fifth floor, so only one flight of stairs. Mathieu is a charming and considerate host and made us very welcome. Highly recommended.

Soul enriching stay

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this property as she settled into her study abroad program in Paris. This stunning Haussmann style apartment came with all the practical things you would want from a home away from home…comfortable bed, clean surroundings, terrific pillows, luxuriously deep tub with steaming hot water for soaking, etc. This property is in a spectacular location in Le Marais…just a stones throw from the Picasso Museum, the National Archives Museum, and the breathtaking Place des Vosges (which also houses the preserved Paris apartment of the legendary Victor Hugo). It is decked out stylishly, with lovingly curated items and inviting furniture. Perhaps my favorite features were the delightful south facing windows that streamed sunlight from morning until evening. If the beguiling streets of Paris had not been enticing me out, I would have happily sat with a good book and a coffee, looking out on the rooftops of Le Marais for an entire afternoon. As the property suggests, one could actually imagine themselves a “Parisian” while staying there. M. Forestier, is certainly a magnanimous and kind host who seems to love sharing his own passion for greater Paris, and Le Marais in particular, with visitors. It was such a privilege to be welcomed there.

Superb!!!

After our five-night stay at this idyllic Parisian apartment, I cannot imagine returning to Paris and staying anywhere else!! The location in the Marais neighbourhood is absolutely wonderful with many great shops and restaurants all within a stone’s throw of this rooftop retreat. With a short walk to St. Paul metro station, all of Paris is accessible! On top of it all, Mathieu is simply fantastic!!! Despite being on holiday himself during our stay, Mathieu was so welcoming, kind, attentive and helpful! His restaurant recommendations were all amazing and he constantly did everything he could to ensure our stay was a pleasant one! Merci Mathieu for making our Paris Olympic adventure even more fantastic than we could have ever expected!!!

A Very Enjoyable Accommodation but Check the Ascent

I really enjoyed this property because (a) it's very comfortable, well-appointed and modern (b) it's quiet (c) it was in a good location (at least for my needs). That said, it's on the 6th floor of a 6 floor building. An elevator is being installed but was not completed before my stay began. The owner explained this to me and I was aware that the elevator night not be complete, and indeed it was not. I knowingly accepted the risk. I'm fit but going up 6 flights with a heavy suitcase and backpack was challenging. I also walk everywhere in the city (with few exceptions), and after hours of waking the vertical climb was not exactly the best part of my day. My recommendation would be to understand if the elevator is functional when you commit to the rental, unless you enjoy significant exercise. The location suited my needs because I could walk to many places of my interest. Also, there is a taxi stand 5 minutes away for more far-flung points. I prefer to stay above-ground, either on-foot or in a taxi to see the world around me. For that reason I can't comment on the metro. I had a wonderful stay in Paris for my 4.5 day sejour, which occurred during school vacation week. I would say that if you have your heart set on seeing particular sites, buy tickets on-line well in advance. You might find yourself disappointed, otherwise. Thanks to host Mathieu for his responsiveness and fine hospitality.

Beautiful apartment in ideal location

I stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter for a mother-daughter trip, and the apartment was lovely. It was on the smallish side, but we expected that. We had everything we needed here. We did not cook - other than making coffee in the morning - so I cannot speak to how it would have been to cook in the kitchen, as it was very small. We were very glad that the elevator had been installed and was working, as it would have been difficult to drag our suitcases up 6 very narrow flights of stairs, so the elevator was appreciated! The neighborhood was perfect - charming, beautiful, with cafes and interesting shops all round. We could not have been happier with the location and the apartment suited our needs very well.
