Features a centuries-old cobblestone courtyard and iron gate
Stepping past the wrought-iron gates and into the courtyard of our Chassagne Paris apartment rental is like stepping into the past. The ancient cobblestone pavers, antique friezes, and wall-mounted lanterns from yesteryear set the tone for a vacation apartment that transcends time.

When you step off the elevator on the 4th floor (5th, American) and enter our stunning rental, your mind can't help but turn back to the days of medieval splendor. The expansive silk drapes around the many large windows are like colorful tapestries on palace walls, high beamed ceilings of limed oak are like the Great rooms of storied castles, and the marble floors are like the setting of a royal court. Yes, by staying in our Chassagne apartment you'll be living like the kings and queens of ages past, but with all of the modern amenities of today, including the comfort of air conditioning!

Antique friezes in the courtyard of our Chassagne rental
These antique friezes in the courtyard depict the hard work and simple pleasures of a bygone era. Carefully restored and artfully displayed, they are a pleasure to look at but also serve to introduce visitors to a most uncommon building, a structure with large rooms, wide galleries, and rows of large windows that are rare, indeed, in a city where most buildings share common walls.

Entryway resembles the galleries in a French palais
When you step into the entryway of our 1240-square-foot Chassagne Paris short term rental, you immediately encounter a number of striking features including towering beamed ceilings, shiny marble floors and large French windows that opening onto the medieval courtyard below.

We at Paris Perfect insist that all of our rentals have what we refer to as the 'Wow!' factor - a sense of surprise and delight that hits you when you first walk through the door - and our Chassagne apartment rental has it in spades.

We named this apartment Chassagne after the wine that is sweet, dense and clean, with nicely concentrated flavors of fruits, flowers, and spices. Like the wine, you'll find our Chassagne rental to be pleasingly refreshing as well as large and bright enough to remind you of blooming gardens on a spring day.

Equipped with free high-speed Internet, this makes a lovely room in which to work or catch up on your emails.

Apartment rental gallery opens onto the living room
Here you see how the gallery opens onto the living room and how the marble floors and beamed ceiling flow with it. So, too, do more windows down the right side of the living room and on both sides of the dining area, flooding this large L-shaped room with sunlight and providing gorgeous views of the ancient courtyard below. One of our first guests was a painter who fell in love with this room, because she could set up her paints and easel here and paint to her heart's delight.

This fully remodeled apartment has been designer decorated with the finest fabrics and features that highlight the space and light from all of the large windows, which are dressed in long silk curtains by Pierre Frey and give this Paris short term apartment rental a slightly Italian renaissance feel.

Looking from the gallery to the brightly-lit entrance
Peeking from the gallery back through to the brightly-lit entrance, you can see how the beautifully refinished oak doors and trim blend well with the marble floors and how fashionable sconce fixtures provide good lighting at night. The door in the background leads to a powder room up a short flight of marble stairs.

Stairs to the powder room in entryway
This close-up view of both the oak trim and the custom-cut marble on the stairs to the powder room is a prime example of the care and detail taken in remodeling this Paris short term apartment rental.

Living and dining room in the heart of Paris St. Germain
Your high expectations won't be dashed when you step from the gallery into the living room/dining area of our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental.

There are a total of nine large windows in the entryway, gallery, and living room/dining area, providing great ventilation and giving this apartment an incomparable sense of light and space. In addition, there are fans for the bedrooms and living room, plus we've installed three portable air conditioners.

The two very large sofas were imported from the United Kingdom and their fluffy down cushions are so soft you'll sink right down into them and never want to get back up.

Comfortable armchairs add a touch of French style
Here's a close-up view of one of the two beautiful armchairs that grace either side of the fireplace, along with a glimpse of the gorgeous antique chest in the gallery. We love to use a pleasing mix of modern and antique-style furnishings in our Paris short term apartment rentals, providing both comfort and a flavor of Parisian living you can't find by staying in a hotel room.

Plenty of room to eat and relax
A view of the living room from the dining area reveals an attractive limestone fireplace (decorative only) at the front of the room before the sofas. It has been beautifully dressed out with two antique-style cushioned armchairs with burgundy highlights along with a decorative wall of burgundy that matches the opposite wall in the dining area.

This is an incredible room, and what makes it and our entire Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental even more incredible is that it was once the home of Frédéric Chopin's lover. Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, Baroness Dudevant, best known by her pseudonym George Sand, the French novelist and feminist, called it her 'Hotel Particulier' or Palace. You'll definitely want to email that little nugget of information home to your friends!

Oak dining table comfortably seats up to ten people
Another thing you won't find by staying in a hotel room is your own four-star dining venue. When you compare the costs and amenities between staying in a hotel room versus a Paris apartment, having a kitchen and a dining area is by far the biggest advantage. By staying with us you don't have to go out for every meal, but can still enjoy eating with family and friends without having to get dressed up every evening. The French have mastered the art of ready-prepared dishes and foods, so you don't even have to cook to enjoy savory French food. It's wonderful to be able to buy fresh warm croissants at the patisserie on the corner each morning, and children love choosing a special dessert for after lunch or dinner.

All of our Paris short term apartment rentals come fully equipped for cooking and setting an immaculate table. Just imagine yourself sitting down to this table, all dressed out with fine china and stemware, the breeze wafting between the windows on either side, and soft lighting from the chandelier and wall-mounted sconce lamps. This beats ordering from room service every time!

Beautiful dining table has large windows on either side
The beautiful dining table of our Paris short term apartment rental could easily pass for an antique, but in fact it's a sturdy, modern, and expandable table surrounded by eight antique-style chairs.

After a delicious and satisfying meal, prepared from the freshest of ingredients from nearby open markets, you can move over to the sofas to enjoy some evening entertainment at home. We provide a flat-screen television and DVD player, so you can rent movies nearby or bring favorites from home. It's especially fun to watch movies made in Paris, seeing who among you is the first to recognize the street scenes you've visited during your stay. You'll also want to bring along your favorite music selections too, as you'll find a CD stereo system in our Paris short term apartment rental, excellent for setting the mood.

Modern kitchen with plenty of counter space
The kitchen has been totally remodeled and outfitted with all new white cabinetry, countertops and appliances. The kitchen is also equipped with fashionable overhead and under-the-counter lighting, making it a pleasure in which to work, day or night. Also more pleasurable will be your visits to the nearby open markets, knowing you'll have everything at home you'll need to prepare sumptuous dishes from the ingredients you purchase. It's also fun to select wine, cheese, and fruits to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

A large window over the sink looks out onto the sunny inner courtyard and its wall of ivy and well-tended shrubbery. Swing the window open and let the fresh air flow in. Another especially nice feature is that this room can be closed off, so early risers can get a head start on their morning coffee without disturbing those still asleep.

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and espresso machine
Chassagne's thoroughly modern kitchen features a refrigerator-freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, glass-top range, dishwasher, coffee maker, tea pot, and even an espresso machine! You'll also find all of the necessary cooking and serving accessories you'll ever need, including white porcelain dishes from E. Dehellerin - the shop that furnishes all good Parisian restaurants.

Master Bedroom With Queen Bed and En Suite Bathroom
At the end of the corridor and to the right is the doorway leading to the master suite. This spacious room has an an extra-wide queen sized bed and pretty antique dressing table facing it. Two pale nightstands with tall lamps match the beautiful caned headboard. A large window overlooks the quiet inner courtyard.

The en-suite master bathroom features a bathtub-shower combination, sink, and toilet.

Master Bedroom has Heating and Cooling
Opposite the bed you'll find a pretty dressing table or desk with matching chair. Modern wall-mounted sconces provide good light and the floor-to-ceiling radiator will keep it toasty on cooler nights. Of course, our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental is equipped with fans and air conditioning when the outside temperature warms up.

Second Bedroom has Two Single Mattresses That Zip Together
Walk past the kitchen to find bedroom two of our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental on the right. There are two single beds which can be zipped together to create a queen, or kept apart and made up as twins. Just let us know which you prefer and we'll make them up to suit your party.

It is important to note that we only use top-quality mattresses in our Paris short term apartment rentals, the same as those found in Paris' finest hotels. We never skimp when it comes to your comfort because we want you to be able to get a good night's rest in preparation for your sightseeing adventures. Likewise, we always use high-thread-count linens, fashionable bedspreads, and additional top-quality pillows in our Paris short term apartment rentals. And because we know many of our guests like to read in bed, you'll always find excellent bedside lamps.

Beautiful Oak Closets Provide Plenty of Storage Space
Past the living room walk down a long corridor that is lined with beautifully refinished oak closets leading to the stairway of the en-suite bathroom. Having a lot of closet space is important in our Paris short term apartment rental renovations. We want you to be able to completely unpack, stow your luggage, and not worry about tripping over suitcases or having to rummage around in a suitcase looking for a particular item of clothing. We're never satisfied with the completion of our renovations or arrangement of furnishings unless we'd be happy to live in one of our Paris short term apartment rentals ourselves, because we want our guests to feel like they are staying in a welcoming home. We want all of our guests to experience living like a Parisian and come away with memories of a lifetime, never dwelling on shortcomings that seem to go hand in hand with hotel stays.
At the end of the hallway you'll find bathroom one, with bathtub, shower and sink. A nice feature about this apartment is the separate powder room with toilet and sink, good for extra getting-ready room.

Bedrooms Overlook Two Quiet Courtyards
Both bedrooms features large windows overlooking the planted inner courtyard, great for lots of natural light and perfect for light sleepers.

Now that we've convinced you that you can live like kings and queens in our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental, lets venture out into the neighborhood to see what sightseeing highlights await.

Chassagne Rental is Across the River From Louvre Museum
Chassagne is across the river from the Louvre museum. One of the most beautiful and important museums in Paris, if not the world, the Louvre is only a few minutes away from our Paris short term apartment rental, just across the Seine. When departing the Louvre, stroll through the beautiful Jardin des Tuileries to the Place de la Concorde with its beautiful, centuries-old monuments that still retain their majestic beauty. It's one of Europe's most magnificent and historic squares, covering 20 acres in the heart of the city. And just beyond the square are the high-end specialty shops of Place de la Madeleine.

Our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental is also close to the Academie Francaise and the Museé d'Orsay on the Left Bank. Head just a few blocks west and you'll come to the Ile de Cite where you'll find the great gothic cathedral Notre-Dame, the beautiful stained glass windows of Ste-Chappelle, and the Palais de Justice. Also on the island and well worth a visit is the Conciergerie, the grisly antechamber to the guillotine, where you can tour the cells and see where Marie-Antoinette awaited her execution. For a truly memorable stroll, hop the bridge from Ile de Cite to Ile St Louis, a smaller island of medieval streets packed with cafes, restaurants, and many interesting stores. Immediately to the south of our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental is busy Boulevard Saint Germain, bristling with sidewalk cafes, specialty food stores, and metro stops that can take you throughout the city. Our Paris short term apartment rental is only a 20-minute walk to the Invalides, the final resting-place of Napoleon. Stop in to see his tomb beneath the golden dome and be sure to visit the Musée de l'Armée that's also housed in Louis XIV's masterpiece of French Classical architecture. Here you'll find the finest collection of arms, armor, and uniforms in the world, and it is especially renowned for its enormous collection of Medieval Armor. Right next door is the Rodin Museum, a charming country estate in the middle of the city where the sculptor lived and worked. It's manicured gardens feature many of his important works, and it's a great place for a picnic! Then, as long as you're in the neighborhood, walk a few more blocks to expansive Parc du Champ de Mars - just head for the Eiffel Tower soaring up above the rooftops.

Apartment is Located in the Lively Saint Germain District
Located in the lively Saint Germain district (6th arrondissement on the Left Bank) on Paris' historic rue de Seine, our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental is surrounded by art galleries, cafés, and restaurants. You're only a few blocks from Les Deux Magots, where all the literati and artists hung out in the early 1900's. You won't have to walk far in any direction to come upon a busy sidewalk cafe. Leisure dining is an art form in Paris, as many residents flock to them to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Although our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental provides plenty of both, you'll still want to stop in at these venues for the ambiance and people-watching. Feel free to sample their fare, but enjoy most of your meals at home, because our apartment rental is also surrounded by open markets. With your own kitchen and dining area, you'll be able to take full advantage of the seemingly boundless food shopping opportunities, selecting different culinary delights for every meal. At rue de Seine and rue de Buci you'll find quality fruits and vegetables, a large florist, and two excellent patisseries, and it's only steps away from our Paris short term apartment rental. Marché St-Germain, one of the few covered markets left in Paris, offers Italian, Mexican, Greek, Asian, organic produce, and more, and it, too, is only a few minute's walk from our Saint Germain apartment. On Sunday be sure to visit Marché Raspail for French groceries, Portuguese produce, and Paris' most popular organically grown produce. Menu planning is never an effort when touring around Paris, for with their ever-present passion for food, you'll always be coming across open markets, specialty food shops, and pastry shops no matter in which direction you travel. Simply gaze about, and your cravings will be stirred. Pick up ready-prepared meals or a mix of fresh ingredients to cook up in your kitchen while enjoying a glass of wine you've discovered along the way.

Immerse Yourself in Paris' Café Culture
Yes, aren't those sidewalk cafés tempting? Maybe after you visit the next museum this one will be open so you can rest your feet, soak in the sunshine, and breathe in the heavenly scent of those flowers. This delightful brasserie is on the corner, one block from the Chassagne short term Paris apartment rental.

Medieval Intersection Outside Our Chassagne Rental
This quaint medieval intersection is on the corner outside our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental. It's delightful to simply stroll the streets of Paris. Walk another ten minutes west of our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental, and it might take you a couple of tries to get there because you'll be tempted to stop in at Notre-Dame or any number of other interesting sights. But it is well worth the try and you won't be disappointed. This picture also demonstrates how very little direct sunlight penetrates to the lower floors of Parisian buildings, and why we at ParisPerfect strive to secure Paris short term apartment rentals on higher floors so you can enjoy better views, see over Paris rooftops and enjoy the sun streaming in.

Unique Shops Surround Our Chassagne Paris Short Term Rental
Interesting shops like this are bountiful around Paris, and the neighborhood of our Chassagne Paris short term apartment rental is no exception.
