Rue des Beaux Arts. Outstanding & beautiful 2 bed duplex in Saint Germain des Prés

Description from the manager

There are two words that define this superb apartment: light and space.

Found on the fifth floor of a classical Parisian building, this beautiful duplex apartment is simply gracious. Located in Saint Germain des Près just behind the Académie Française and by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts (ENSBA), you are not only here at the centre of Paris but also at the centre of the “cultural” Paris.

As soon as one enters this apartment, the sensation of space and light is immediate. The large entrance floor is made of tomettes (the traditional Parisian floor tiles), and this is echoed on the upper floor by the most s...ublime apparent beams. The whole apartment is a delicate blend of traditional Parisian interior and contemporary design. The two bedrooms are found on the ground floor and both look onto very calm courtyards, one even has apparent beams. Plainly designed, beautiful and practical the bathroom is separate from the toilets and includes a washing machine.

The top floor is full of light and gives the visitor a feeling of space and plenitude. The apparent beam structure is amazing and gives you the sensation of being on a boat on top of the roofs of Paris. The fully equipped kitchen is open onto this grand and exquisite space. The whole interior design is simple and not over-exploited giving the apartment a very cosy home feeling.

This apartment is one of our favourites, located in a very safe area across the river from the Louvre, you are here right in the “cultural” centre of Paris. Surrounded by art galleries, famous publishers and bookshops, you will also find locally exquisite restaurants and renowned places such as the Café Flore or the Brasserie Lipp. The area was and remains the cultural heart of the French writers and philosophers (Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre). All commodities and transports (taxis, Velib, buses, metro) are local. Once you have done shopping in all the world famous Designer shops found locally, visited the various art galleries, don’t hesitate and go and visit the ENSBA (National Art School) found in a beautiful building which is at the end of your street, hiding exquisite gardens and interior patios. One should also remember that one of the most famous English writers and poets, Oscar Wilde, lived his final years in this same street.

Though this apartment has no lift, it remains one of our favourite locations in Paris. The feeling of space, light and calm that submerges you inside is magical, and yet you are right at the heart of Paris. A great apartment for an exquisite and luxurious holiday in Paris: to be enjoyed with no moderation.

  My favourite location and a really lovely apartment.

  Left on 12/10/2012 for a stay in October 2012
  
  

  This apartment is chic, cosy and well appointed. The location is hard to beat with the wonderful area of St Germain des Pres full of great cafes and shops, and the seine and louvre a short walk. Highly recommend this. Mind the five flights of stairs though - no lift so be prepared. At least you can burn off some croissants! The service from the management most helpful.
