GRANDS AUGUSTINS -St Germain, Quartier Latin -

Sleeps 2/4 Metro: St Michel 3 mins. Third* floor Queensize double bed, 2 sofabeds TV, dishwasher, washing machine

A truly enviable location ! In the heart of the Latin Quarter, the Boulevard St Germain, what more could you ask for ? How about a view over the Seine and the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral ! A concert in the Sainte Chapelle, a Sunday walk around the bird market – all just a step away on the Ile de la Cité ! Feel like shopping ? In the maze of narrow medieval streets you will daily walk past designer boutiques, antique shops, specialist book stores, prestigious art galleries … Feel hungry ? Just take your pick of anything from a dozen tiny bistros to the famous Lapérouse or Tour d’Argent , or lunch beneath the chestnut trees in the Luxembourg gardens! Or stroll to the bustling rue de Seine street market, make your selection from a hundred different cheeses, olive oil from a shop that sells nothing else ! The Louvre, the Marais, the Ile St Louis and the Luxembourg gardens and much more are all within easy walking distance. Take a step back in time – the street got its name in around 1444 and the buildings date from 16^th to 18^th Century ! - while enjoying all the modern comforts of this spacious totally renovated studio of some 46m² with high ceilings, fine original beams, and tall windows overlooking the bouquinistes booths on the banks of the Seine, the Ile de la Cité. Double glazing protects from street noise. Well worth the effort of negotiating the three flights of narrow medieval staircase (with original medieval paintwork ?) ! Well designed layout makes maximum use of space, with the main sleeping area intelligently concealed behind a dividing wall. The shower room has recently been totally renovated, and your market purchases can be prepared in the excellent open plan kitchen area. Living room with traditional terracotta tile floor, 2 double sofabeds, dining furniture, TV and stereo. A breakfast bar divider to the well equipped Kitchen area, washing machine, dishwasher. A half wall conceals the bedroom area with European queen size bed. En suite newly renovated stylish Shower room with WC. Local line telephone. Electric heating.
