Le Bijou Apartment

This "chambre d'hotel" apartment on the Rue des Tournelles is just a three minute walk from the Place des Vosges, one of the most beautiful 17th century squares in all of Europe. I call this 230 square feet ground floor studio apartment "le petit bijou" or the "little jewel."

The apartment was featured on the Parisian TV magazine show "Paris Premiere" in April 2004. The local TV Company engaged a well-known Parisian designer and produced the making of a luxury "pied a terre."

The renovation is a work of art and features a restored limestone wall, stone tile floors, a very accommodating bathroom, pastel striped painted walls, and the very hip "kitchoo" cuisine with stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher.

Services included in the cost are local phone calls, cable TV with CNN, BBC and English movie stations, free and unlimited high speed Internet, linens, towels and the final cleaning.

There is also a stereo system and library and 2 closets for your clothes.

A comfortable place to relax day or night.

The bathroom has a hot towel warmer and thick towels and a hairdryer.

In the apartment will also be a guide book to the neighborhood, favorite restaurants, cafes, wine shops, bakeries, and markets.

The beautiful building on rue des Tournelles dates back to 1864.
