Request this Apartment
fourth-floor apartment rises high above the city and reminds guests why they booked a trip to Paris in the first
place. With plenty of space and comfortable furnishings, this apartment offers a versatile home for travelers.
Shut the double-glazed windows and read a book near the decorative fireplace in the open-concept living room.
Or pull open the windows and people watch with a glass of wine, gazing down at the lively Boulevard de Clichy or
up the hill to Montmartre and feel part of its famous village atmosphere. The apartment features a large queen
bed in the master bedroom and small double-sized sofabed in the living room, creating extra sleeping space for
couples or families. For the traveling chef, a full kitchen with gas stove means a quick trip to the grocery store a
short walk away is all that's needed for a gourmet meal just like you would make at home. The owners not only
decorated this apartment in fun Frenchy style, but they included everything busy travelers expect - cable
television, telephone, DVD player and wireless Internet access.
In the Neighborhood
In any direction, this neighborhood offers a wide range of choices for tourists. A new landscape and construction
project created a tree-lined, pedestrian median just below this flat along Boulevard de Clichy. The median is so
spacious, you'll find parents and kids having a snack on the park benches, or playing a little soccer. It makes
walking safe and comfortable on this very lively boulevard. The new median also includes a bike trail for those who
enjoy a little exercise while on vacation.
If you're a "foodie," you'll have several choices: Head north up rue Lepic and stock up on fresh food on this
charming street made famous by the movie "Amelie." You'll find fresh fish, cheese, bread and many other edible
goodies. Or, head east a few blocks and you'll be at the top of rue des Martyrs, a fabulous shopping street
described in a 2005 New York Times article as "a slice of village life" that will "satisfy that perennial desire for
discovery." Let your taste buds lead the way and find your neighborhood favorites.
Don't forget Montmartre, which is just steps from your front door. Cross the boulevard and walk up rue
Coustou -- it dead ends at market street rue Lepic and head uphill; or cross the boulevard and walk to your right
up rue Houdon -- it dead-ends at rue des Abbesses, where you'll find yourself in the heart of Montmartre, with
outdoor cafes, shops and the tiny, winding streets that makes this neighborhood such a delight.
Hop on the Métro
The apartment is right between two métro stops, Pigalle and Blanche, about a two-minute walk in either direction.
Walk toward Place Pigalle and pick up Métro Line 12 or Métro Line 2. The 12 line heads north to romantic
Montmartre or south to the chic seventh arrondissement. The 2 line curves toward the Champs Élysees in one
direction, and in the other, drops you at the foot of Père Lachaise cemetery. You can also pick up the 2 line at
Metro Blanche.
Don't Miss the Bus
At Place Pigalle, you can pick up the 67 bus, the Montmartre bus and the 30 bus. The 67 is a scenic line
heading south into the 1st arrondissement before cutting through the Île de la Cité, but not before taking you
right past the Louvre. The Montmartre bus is perfect for tourists, navigating the tiny streets of Montmartre.
The 30 bus makes East-West travel easy. It runs west along Parc de Monceau and through the trendy
Batignolles before stopping at the edge of the Arc de Triomphe. A bit farther south, the 30 takes you to
Trocadero near the Eiffel Tower. Day trips outside of Paris are breeze because this line also takes you to Gare de l’
Est and Gare du Nord.
Meet the Owners
Couple Mary & Nick, London-based film editors, joined forces with Mary's brother Ian, a software engineer, to
purchase this romantic flat about five years ago. Their collective energy and creativity shines through in the
stylish, colorful apartment decor. It's immediately evident that this hip trio have put their hearts into this
apartment, making it a magical home for travelers.
