Our apartment on the Rue du Bac is between the Seine and the Boulevard Saint Germain. Within easy walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee Rodin, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Hotel Matignon (official residence of the French Prime Minister). For those who are more interested in shopping than sightseeing, the immediate area is also full of famous designer shops (Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton...), as well as lesser known but equally chic Parisian boutiques. And because Saint Germain des Pres is home to so many of the city's most fashionable people, the streets themselves provide a glimpse of elegant Parisien style. Two huge, dark green doors on the Rue du Bac open to reveal a small, private cul-de-sac containing several 19th-century buildings.

Our apartment is on the fourth floor of the first building, looking out onto a central courtyard. There is an elevator, an elegant and spacious stairwell, and only one other apartment on the same floor. All the common areas of the building are maintained to a high standard by the charming and very capable Mme. Teixeira, our concierge.

At 50 square meters (about 500 square feet), the apartment may not be large, but it is wonderfully cozy, charming, and authentic. The floors are polished wood, the ceilings are tall (about nine feet, or 3 meters), there are four windows (all looking out onto the central courtyard), and two (non-working) fireplaces - one in the living room, one in the bedroom.

If you encounter any problems during your stay, we live a mere five minutes away, and can always be reached on our mobile phone.
