| Your ideal accomodation for : - its view - its location - its layout - its peace - your host - its price - its practical details |
You want to comfortably enjoy Paris, our guestroom is what you need. THE VIEW |
At the 4th floor, you have a stunning view over the oldest park of Paris: Parc de la Tour Saint-Jacques. From our lounge you not only see the Saint-Jacques tower and the Chatelet angel but also, on the island the Conciergerie and the Sainte-Chapelle church and on the other bank the Montparnasse tower. Building : our building has been built during the Second Empire (1852-1870) when the street was extended east of Le Louvre. It follows the strucutural Haussman rules. Flat: our flat is the only in the building to have kept most of its original ornaments: plain wood doors, wooden floor in heavy oak in the Hungarian style parquetry, marble chimneys (though no more functional), ceiling moulding. Of course, it has been later fitted with modern conveniences!

THE PEACE |
The Rivoli street is busy all year round, from Christmas time when shoppers are overloaded with gifts to Summer time when tourists flood the pathways. In the very center of Paris, quietness is unexpectable... but you're lucky, enter and you'll be surprised. The double-glazing is great, you have the view without the noise. Even better, the guestroom gives onto tiny Rue Pernelle; it is therefore peaceful.

OPENING OUR HOME TO YOU |
After having been abroad for years, I enjoy meeting the world from my own home. The bed and breakfast is not our job but a cosy side-activity. It is a way of meeting mindsets we would have never crossed in our usual life pathways. It is fun, easy and refreshing. This no hotel but our flat we open to you. The level of service depends on the friendliness of our interaction. I would like some guests to come again for all the joy they have communicated; for them I did my very best. Rare guests lacked the minimum education; I then provided the strict minimum. |
