Entry towards french country style living room
Welcome to our Medoc Paris apartment rental in the heart of the Left Bank! Our 410-square-foot Medoc apartment is located on the 7th floor (yes, there is an elevator!) and can sleep up to four people in air conditioned comfort. We named this apartment Médoc, after a wine made in one of the most prized regions of Bordeaux that produces some of the best wines in the world. It's a natural fit as Médoc is located in Paris' most prized arrondisement, the 7th, and this rental is one of the prettiest one-bedroom apartments we have to offer.

Step into the apartment and find the powder room immediately on your right and the living room ahead. Just beyond is the bedroom. The living has a charming decorative fireplace next to the sofa. The long, sofa converts to two single beds at night. Two chandeliers grace the living room and dining area, giving the room a pretty French feel. The dining table expands to seat six for dinner.

At night, a trundle bed rolls out from under the sofa and pops up to make a single bed with headboard. The sofa seat pulls out slightly to make another regular width single bed. Our sofa beds are custom-made for us in Italy and are designed for every night sleeping. The smaller spaces of apartments in many European cities means sofa beds are a common solution nightly use and better engineering of sofa beds is the result. Mattresses are of high quality foam on wooden slats, offering good support.

Charming touches in the bedroom
A pretty round window frame which has been converted to a mirror adds a charming touch in the bedroom of our Medoc apartment. We found the mirror at the Puces, the flea market in Paris, where we find many of our accessories for our Paris rentals. Look closely; we love the way the headboard and crystal chandelier are reflected in the mirror.

Well-designed bathroom with full-sized shower and sink
To the left of the kitchen is the pretty bathroom, tiled in beige Italian marble, with a geometric design in different colors for contrast. The bathroom features a full-sized, step-in shower with both fixed and flexible shower heads, a sink, over sink cabinet and shelf underneath for storage. We also install plenty of hooks so you can hang your toilet kits and towels, something that guests at our Paris rentals really appreciate. The water heater is 80 gallons, the largest available for apartment use, so you won't run out of hot water during your stay in our Paris rental apartment.

We love the combination of modern utility and charm in this Parisian style apartment rental.

Separate powder room with toilet and marble sink
The WC or powder room is just on your right as you step inside the Paris rental apartment. We made it a feature by rounding the wall on the living room side of the Medoc Paris rental. There is a toilet, counter and small marble sink in a shell design for your convenience. The powder room has lots of natural light from the long narrow windows on the right. Don't worry; there are curtains over the windows for privacy. It's a special convenience to have a separate powder room when you are a group, because you have extra room to get ready in the mornings.

Shell-shaped marble bown was found in an antique market
The powder room of our Paris rental features a beautiful, shell-shaped marble bowl that we found in an antique market. We think it was originally meant for use in Church, but it could have been a garden ornament. We had the marble yard drill a hold in it for a plug and drain and voila a pretty hand basin for our Medoc Paris rental powder room!

Buy fresh flowers from the famous rue Cler market street
When you arrive, buy fresh flowers on the famous rue Cler. There are numerous flower stands here, but my favorite is on the corner of rue du Champs de Mars and rue Cler. You will want to wander down rue Cler to pick up the freshest fruits and vegetables, meats, cheeses and pastries too. The nicest thing about staying in a fine Paris rental apartment is the fact that you enjoy having meals at home, rather than buying all of your meals at restaurants. The prices really add up.

Shop for all your foods at the three open markets nearby
Shop for all of your foods on rue Cler or at one of the three Open Markets nearby. The 7th is famous for its open markets, where merchants come from all over France with their finest foods and delicacies.

Pastry is a passion here and you'll find a number of patisseries within a few blocks of our Medoc apartment rental in Paris, close enough to pop out every morning so you can surprise your family and friends with mouth-watering temptations. Children especially love to pick out their own desserts and no meal in Paris is complete without freshly baked baguettes.

Visit two of our favorite cheese shops on rue Cler
The choice and flavors of cheese available in Paris is unbelievable! Two of our favorite cheese shops are on rue Cler, la Fromagerie, with its wonderful goat's cheese specialties; and, Marie-Anne Cantin, famous throughout Paris. When you shop for soft cheese, tell them which day you would like to eat it and they will squeeze them until they find one that will be perfect for when you wish to enjoy it!

Admire the shop windows along the beautiful streets
You will love strolling along the beautiful streets, simply admiring the shop windows!
