Description of Apartment

Le Temple des Rosiers is everyone's dream. The renovation and decoration was completed by designer Martine di Matteo this past September 2010, turning this palatial 150 square-meter apartment into a masterpiece of style and comfort. It is now available to make your Parisian dreams of ultimate luxury in the City of Light come true.

Located in the heart of Le Marais overlooking the famous rues des Rosiers and Vieille du Temple, the apartment is located on the second floor of a beautifully maintained building which surrounds a stunning courtyard that was for centuries the "Passage des Singes" connecting rues Vieille du Temple and Guillemites.

The entrance to the building is protected by a digicode system at the large blue doors on the street and then there is a subsequent iron grill requiring a key to open it, providing additional security. An elevator will whisk you up to the apartment where, from the entrance you will be greeted by a magnificent great room, housing the dining room living room and kitchen. There are five two-story-high windows (a full 4.5 meters to the ceiling) on the outer wall of the great room leading onto a large terrace that allow ample natural light to stream in, not to mention stunning views of Le Marais.

The living room, at the far end of the space, has been redone in shades of mauve and purple, with gold accents. The period decor includes a striking three-piece sofa and two matching armchairs. The focus of the space is a marble fireplace, topped by an antique mirror and matching intricate glass light fixtures.

The dining room features a large oval wooden dining table that seats eight people lit by a stunning crystal chandelier and is perfect for an elaborate dinner party or a meal on the go.

Adjacent to the dining room, is the fully equipped, chateau style kitchen with zinc bar, marble counter tops, dishwasher, separate refrigerator and freezer, a large Falcon oven and stovetop and a microwave. All cookware, plates and cutlery are, of course, provided.

One of the "pieces de resistance" of this apartment is the large terrace, which runs the full length of the great room and kitchen and is accessible from the dining room. This space can act as an additional room for dining, sunbathing or just relaxing. The terrace is equipped with one table for six and another that seats two, for a more intimate "tête-a-tête."

One half of the apartment is divided into two levels and from the entrance to the apartment, you may ascend the gently curved, extra wide marble staircase to access the second level. Once at the top you find first the salon that forms part of the master suite. This area provides a place to hide away when desired and is equipped with a love seat and comfortable armchair, as well as built-in closets with hanging, drawer and shelf space. Walking through the salon you descend another staircase to get to the tastefully decorated sleeping area of the master suite, complete with Queen-sized bed (convertible into twins), matching night tables and a large armoire in grey antiqued wood.

A painting by master artist Pascal Amblard adorns the wall adjacent to the bed and there is a 42-inch high-definition television with a Blu-ray DVD player opposite the bed for late night viewing.

En suite to the sleeping area is the large Travertine-tiled bathroom, with toilet, sink, heated towel rack and an overly spacious shower with built in bench and lighting...for pure luxury.

Along the same hallway as the entrance to the master suite, is a second bedroom done in hunter green and ruby red. Here, also, there is a choice of a Queen-sized bed or two twin beds from which to admire the hand painted cloud motif mural on the ceiling, also by the artist, Amblard. This room also has a desk/dressing table and chest of drawers, both in rich dark wood, and a flat-screen television. There is a double closet to store anything you may have brought with you.

At the end of the hall is another full bathroom, with an oversized lighted tub in iridescent tile, shower, elegantly simple white sink and vanity -- all behind an antique window strategically placed for charm. This bath is where you can soak for an hour in total peace and harmony.

Continuing past this bathroom, you move again toward the front of the apartment, where there is a loft overlooking the great room. This useful space is home to a built-in desk and entertainment center and a comfortable sofabed for two. The 42-inch high definition flat-screen television, Blu-ray DVD player and iPod dock will come in handy after a day of sightseeing. Stay in touch with the rest of the world with the apartments lap top computer and wireless printer found here.

Your third sleeping choice is to stay on the ground level where there is bedroom number three with a full-sized antique bed and a secretary with a chair, plus en suite is a Moroccan tiled bathroom with shower.

Across the hall is the utility room, with separate washer and dryer and plenty of other useful items such as ironing board, brooms, mops, etc.

Should you choose to arrive by car, the apartment includes a parking spot in the basement of the building.

As with all of Parler Paris Apartments, Le Temple des Rosiers is equipped with free highspeed wireless Internet, more than one hundred television channels, including several in English and unlimited free long distance calling to more than 100 international destinations.

Le Marais and the Area Around Rue Vieille du Temple and Rue des Rosiers

Located in the heart of Le Marais overlooking the famous rues des Rosiers and Vieille du Temple, with all of Le Marais at your feet and everything it has to offer. A historic district protected by strict city regulations, Le Marais has gentrified over the past 50 years to become the chicest district with the finest boutiques, restaurants and museums literally on your doorstep.

Some of the most immediate attractions include rue des Rosiers (old Jewish Quarter), the Hôtel de Ville, the Place des Vosges, Village Saint-Paul, the Musées Carnavalet, Picasso, the Victor Hugo House, the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaisme and others, Place de la Bastille, Eglise Saint-Paul and Saint-Gervais and hundreds of other sights within a few steps. The River Seine, the Ile Saint-Louis and Ile de la Cit, are also just a short walk away.

But most delightful, is Le Marais itself a cornucopia of lifestyles and a Mecca of shopping, dining and cultural venues incomparable to other parts of the city...all within 16th, 17th and 18th-century walls. This is the oldest part of the city, vibrant and home to many different communities.

You will feel the centuries of French history as you stroll the narrow cobblestone streets and take in the special architectural delights of the "hôtels particuliers" and "petite maisons" in between. Any guide book or historical account will be able to describe in detail all the attractions of the district, but the real pleasure is in self-discovery. As a resident in a centuries-old building, you will be able to truly absorb all it has to offer like no other "quartier."

Guest Comments:

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the apartment Le Temple des Rosiers. The apartment was bright, full of morning light and we appreciated the attention to detail in all of the apartment’s decorations. The area surrounding the apartment is fabulous — great shops, great sightseeing, great restaurants — all within walking distance. We have been to Paris many times and this was by far our most relaxing and enjoyable visit.

Everything went well on our stay, Sophie was a pleasure to deal with. We had a great stay at Le Temple des Rosiers! The apartment was lovely and the location was fantastic. Thank you very much.

Le Temple des Rosiers was perfect for our large family (there are 7 of us --- 5 children and 2 adults)! The location of the apartment is perfect --- just a few steps from an epicerie, a patisserie, and a chocolaterie. The apartment was also within walking distance from some of our favorite places --- La Place des Vosges, le Marie, a metro station, Notre Dame --- just to name a few. It was also really nice to have a kitchen and dining area!! Our children
were quite happy to be able to eat pain au chocolat et des croissants in
their pajamas every morning! The best thing about having the apartment was that our entire family was able to be together (instead of having 3 separate hotel rooms). Evenings around the table, talking about our day and planning the next day, were fantastic! Lots of memories were made during this trip!
