Item Description

Montmartre, a Village in Paris

Location: Paris Arrondissement 18, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (Public Transportation to All Points of Interest)

Accommodations:  Apartment, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4), for one week

While Montmartre is best known for its tourists' attractions and its rich artistic and bohemian past, there is much more to this charming district of Paris than the Sacre-Coeur Basilica and the Place du Tertre. Meandering up and down narrow cobblestone streets and outdoor stairways, one encounters a quieter, almost provincial atmosphere, with tiny parks, terraces, and even a microscopic vineyard. Rich in history, offering spectacular views of Paris at every turn, Montmartre is an experience not to be missed.

Situated on the second floor of a tiny building (two flights up, no elevator) the apartment consists of an open floorplan livingroom/bedroom combination, as well as a galley kitchen and "American" style bathroom. Recently renovated, with new hardwood flooring and furnishings, the apartment (approximately 400 sq. ft) is very open, bright, charming and quiet. Thoughtful consideration of prospective guests' needs and comforts makes for a most pleasant experience.

Local shops, markets, cafes and restaurants, as well as nearby inexpensive and efficient public transportation to all points of interest, allow visitors to immerse themselves fully in Parisian life.

This item only includes the accomodations for 7 nights - airfare is not included.
