All rooms are private with independent access, separated from the owners's duplex, Jean-Luc and Denise and located up just one short flight of stairs from the street.

The house

First constructed in 1609 as a single house, under the reign of Henry IV, it was transformed after the Revolution into a small apartment building. Careful restoration has been undertaken in the early 2000' in keeping with the memory of "old" Paris. All the significant elements of the original house have been faithfully preserved and restored, as part of a rigorous approach designed to bring out the very best of Parisian architectural heritage: the Louis XVI facade, the front door with ornaments Louis Philippe intact, and the oak staircase.

You will notice in the lobby fragments of sculptor Jean Gougeon from the XVIth century which originate from the destruction of the nearby palace of the Grand Prieur du Temple.

The charm that comes with a house of this age, the solid old stones combined with a contemporary design and decor, makes this a peaceful heaven beyond compare in the Paris area.

You will see a variety of styles in which the spirit of the Middle Age and the classicism of the Renaissance flourish alongside more reserved buildings, creating harmony and, at the same time, diversit

Elegant and sophisticated, yet at the same time with a real sense of community, Le Marais keeps the spirit of "old Paris" alive, while staying completely in tune with the latest trends, shaped by the talented creators who choose to settle there.

Numerous café-théâtres, cinemas, bars, jazz clubs and restaurants make for an environment that is both lively and richly varied every day and in particular during special events such as: la nuit des musées, la fête de la musique (June 21), le festival soirs d'été, Bastille Day, Paris plage, les journées du patrimoine, les journées des jardins, and I love Rue Charlot.
