"La Table du Roi" ("The Kings's Table) is a one bedroom slice of old world charm, destined to please those looking for luxury and elegance. On the first floor (European) of a 17th-century building on rue du Roi de Sicile in the heart of Le Marais (4th arrondissement), it is steps from rue de Rivoli, rue Vieille du Temple, the Hôtel de Ville, Place de la Bastille, the River Seine and everything that Le Marais has to offer.

Newly renovated by our Interior Architect, Martine di Matteo, it has a full bedroom with three openings to the living room (two French pocket doors and even an antique window!). The bed is adorned by a hand-painted mural made especially for the apartment. The doors and windows close and drapes can be lowered for complete privacy in the bedroom. A closet the length of one wall has been especially created to fit the space and house all your belongings.

The center apartment wall is open, exposing the original 17th-century beams to give visual space to the living room and kitchen, both having lots of light from the 3.5 meter-high windows. Lavish drapery adds to the elegant decor.

The signature of the entire apartment is a table that has been cleverly carved around the old beams so that a dining table serves the living room and a breakfast nook serves the kitchen! A leaf can be added to the table to elongate it so that four can be seated comfortably on the living room side. We venture to say that no other apartment in Paris can claim such a unique table...hence "La Table du Roi!"

At the other side of the living room is an extending desk, constructed to create a spacious work corner next to the window. A luxurious sofa bed opens to sleep another two guests comfortably. There is storage under the windows and another behind the armchairs where a fireplace once stood with hand-carved antique doors.

The open kitchen is fully equipped to handle even the most elaborate gourmet meal and includes an oven, two-burner stove, microwave, refrigerator and washer/dryer combination machine.

The bath, handy to the entrance and facing the bedroom, has windows across the top to allow lots of light. It is beautifully equipped, with a state-of-the-art rainfall showerhead, heated towel rack, clothes drying rack and thick luxurious towels.

The apartment's decor says "17th-century Paris," but modern technology has been unobtrusively incorporated to meet your needs. It is equipped with a portable air conditioner for the warmest seasons along with high-speed Internet, flat-screen TV, multi-zone DVD player, and free(!) long distance phone service to 70 countries.

Considering the size of the apartment, every inch has been brilliantly used to make for a luxurious stay in the City of Light. No detail has been spared for comfort for up to four guests.

Le Marais and the Area Around "La Table du Roi"

Located in the heart of Le Marais steps from rues Vieille du Temple and des Rosiers, La Table du Roi, offers all of Le Marais at your feet with 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 Européenne de la Photographie, the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme 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 Cité 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 and home to many different communities — Jewish, Gay, Chinese and best of all, it's still very, very French. It is vibrant and teeming with life all hours of the day and night.

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" can.

We're barely home from Paris and already missing La Table du Roi, where we spent a wonderful three weeks. It's in a perfect location, surrounded by cafés, bakeries, museums and street markets, has easy access to several Métro lines, and is just a short walk from the beautiful bridges of the Seine. Do be ready for a lively urban-chic environment at your doorstep. Ours was a working trip and after a long day of interviewing farmers and chefs (tough job but somebody's got to do it), the La Table du Roi was a welcoming hideaway to come "home" to with its quietly elegant furnishings, well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Little details like a stock of books and dvds, a phone and Internet access made things that much easier. We've rented apartments before in Paris and this experience was seamless. The email and phone contact was prompt, paperwork complete, payment was simple via credit card, and check-in and check-out were both efficient and gracious. We'll be back, both to this apartment and to this agency. Merci to the Adrian Leeds Group for helping to make our trip wonderful!

I’m home after spending an incredible February in Paris. I wanted to say thank you for helping me find the perfect place to stay. La Table du Roi is a perfectly equipped apartment right in the center of the Marais lifestyle, surrounded by shops, boulangeries, nightlife and restaurants. When I arrived, the roses and petals were a beautiful sight and the apartment was more charming and better equipped than I had hoped for. During my stay I was able to use the well equipped kitchen for a number of delicious dinners. The location was spectacular -– as I was able to go nearly anywhere within just a few minutes. After a couple of very long days, it was great to relax one evening and watch a movie. It was a nice surprise to find such a good selection of movies, books and guides. I had a friend come to stay for about a week and she found the convertible bed to be very comfortable. I would recommend this apartment to anyone that wants to experience living in Marais firsthand!

We had such a great time that I have no doubt that we will be returning to Paris and will book through Parler Paris again. We had a wonderful stay at La Table du Roi. It truly was a home away from home. The apartment was and is comfortable and cozy, modern but also has a wonderful romantic charm. La Table du Roi became our haven and really made us feel as though Paris was our home for a month. It was a wonderful feeling while train hopping through Europe to find ourselves saying that though we had a wonderful time in Madrid, Rome and Venice that we were glad to be going back to "our" apartment in Paris and every time we got off the train back in Paris, we always had the sense of coming home when we stepped through the apartment door.

I found the service offered by Parler Paris Apartments to be fantastic. Everyone was extremely helpful and above all professional and there was always someone to help and answer any questions regarding the apartment. Parler Paris Apartments made the whole process of booking over the Internet easy and there were no "hidden surprises." Everything was transparent and professional and everything was done very efficiently, from answering my many questions prior to committing to a lease all the way through to someone making the effort to greet us in Paris and let us into the apartment as well as making themselves available during our stay if we needed any help regarding the apartment.

The apartment and location could not have been better. Just outside the door of the building are wonderful bakeries, restaurants and shops. The Métro is only a short distance away in either direction you go. We truly felt like we were locals living at La Table du Roi. The support and information from John of Parler Paris Apartments was outstanding.

Thank you very much for your most excellent hospitality - we really enjoyed our stay at La Table du Roi. The apartment is really something else -- very well laid out, and very interestingly designed and decorated. The location was fabulous, and the combination of location and excellent apartment meant that we had a truly fantastic holiday that worked very well for us and our eleven month old daughter. We were really impressed by the feeling of hospitality. Barbara made us feel welcome right away, and gave us lots of very useful local information, including restaurants that we could take our baby daughter to. She really knew the area, and her expertise was an unexpected, and much appreciated bonus. She really set a great tone for a wonderful holiday. I was also extremely impressed by the thoughtful touches -- the 'guide to the flat,' including the full instruction manuals for everything in the flat, the guidebooks on the bookshelves, the DVDs, the extend to which the kitchen was stocked (including things like foil, cling film, kitchen roll and dish washing liquid -- very much appreciated!) and the extra linens. This is a very well run business, and we would definitely consider an Adrian Leeds property for our next trip to Paris. Thanks again! You should be very proud of the level of service that you offer, as it is excellent, and I consider myself to have very high standards! Keep up the good work.

We thought the whole experience was fantastic. I can't think of anything that was unsatisfactory and over the time between rental and actual trip we were kept up to date by John. Barbara was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived and was very helpful. The free phone was great since I needed to make daily calls home. I can't wait to return again! We had a wonderful time at the apartment on the rue de Roi de Sicile. The apartment was gorgeous and very true to the photo on the web (always a plus). The exposed beams were amazing and really allowed you to see the age of the apartment. The queen bed easily pulled apart into twins so no one had to sleep on the pull out. Having a kitchen was a fabulous luxury so that we could bring food in from all the lovely markets and fromageries in the area. The location was perfect and we found everything we needed within walking distance of the apartment from ATM machine, glorious teas at Marriage Frères, great food and even the Métro Stop at St. Paul. We took leisurely evening walks every night to see Paris by night, do some window shopping and have a gelatto. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with our stay.
