Winter view of the Eiffel Tower from the living room
St. Julien is a gorgeous, 695-square-foot Parisian apartment rental with French doors that face the beautiful Champ de Mars Gardens. This is the view of the Eiffel Tower at night from three sets of French doors in the double living room. During the spring and summer, you see it best at night, as it is covered by the leaves of the trees outside. In the winter you see the whole Eiffel Tower through the bare branches. Children and adults say it is the favorite part of their stay in Paris, to watch the magic light show at night, every hour for five minutes after dark (until 1am).

Unforgettable close-up view of La Grande Dame at night
An unforgettable view in winter from our St. Julien short term rental on the Left Bank of Paris. Why stay in an apartment or hotel on the dark courtyard when you can have this?

Sunset over the Champ de Mars gardens in Paris
The sunset view over the Champ de Mars Gardens is unmatched from this warm and welcoming apartment on the Left Bank. Our Paris apartment has a beautiful view and guests say they will never stay in a hotel again. They love the fact that they can gather round at night and enjoy each other's conversation in the living room, simply relax on a quiet day. They love having the option of cooking in the kitchen when they please, a big savings over eating out at restaurants for every meal.

Open the French doors and enjoy the views of Champ de Mars
The living room is fabulous; three sets of French doors open out to leafy green trees and a view of the Champ de Mars Gardens ahead. You can see the angels in stone which decorate the top floor of the Paris apartment building on the corner and the French flag flying on the corner below. To your right is the Eiffel Tower. There are two decorative balconies which you can step out on to enjoy the view, but they are not wide enough for sitting or putting a table.

Sunny living room of our Paris short term rental
The living room of our Paris short term rental is decorated in warm yellows and French blues, creating a welcome and friendly atmosphere for your stay. The apartment's west-facing location means sunlight streams into the room throughout the day.

Second half of living room: panel doors slide shut to create bedroom 2. Long sofa converts to two single beds at night.

St Julien apartment rental is beautifully decorated
The pretty painted chest of drawers sets a soft tone for our apartment in Paris.

First half of living room with sofa bed and cable television
The first half of the living/dining room has a comfortable sofa bed which opens up to make a double bed, without having to remove a single cushion. It faces two comfortable armchairs upholstered in pretty blue checked fabric, a beautiful hand-painted chest of drawers and large antique mirror, making the room feel more light and spacious. There is a flat screen plasma TV and dual standard DVD player so you can bring your favorite movies from home. Tune into CNN, CNBC and BBC and a variety of other channels. The CD player and radio are next to the TV so you can bring your favorite music to enjoy during your stay.

Back half of living room converts into a second bedroom
The second part of the living room has large sliding doors which can be closed at night to create bedroom two. The high-quality sofa bed is over six-feet long and was made for us in Italy; it is perfect for sitting and for taking naps during the day. At night, the sofa converts to two single beds by easily rolling out the trundle underneath. Italian design is remarkable; a spring allows you to pull the trundle to bed level and even a headboard pops up! There are two closets and a bookshelf are on your right for storage.

View towards kitchen and dining table

Beautiful dining table expands to seat eight people
The dining table sits in front of the first set of French doors. It is made of sandblasted glass from Bontempi in Italy and expands to comfortably seat eight. A beautiful traditional chandelier contrasts with the modern look of the table. The large map of Paris means you can enjoy planning your day or recounting where you've been.

Kitchen has all the modern appliances you need for meals
The open plan kitchen features pale oak cabinets with pale granite worktops. There is every modern appliance you might wish for and extra storage in the closets behind the dining table. Find every modern appliance needed for cooking: full refrigerator-freezer, toaster, microwave, oven, induction burners, Nespresso machine, drip coffee pot with timer, white porcelain dishes, stainless steel pots and pans and an excellent selection of accessories, serving dishes, etc.

Master bedroom with en suite bathroom and courtyard views
To the left of the hallway, step into the peaceful and the romantic master bedroom with extra-wide queen bed and en suite bathroom. Pale creams and beiges accentuate the beautiful carved headboard and extra-wide, queen bed. There is a large window which overlooks the quiet inner courtyard. It is a compact room, but features every amenity and is extremely quiet and comfortable.

As with all of our apartments, we fit the highest quality double pane glass windows in our apartments, the same as used by luxury hotels. This means you can have a quiet night's sleep while living in the heart of Paris.

Watch a DVD in bed or snuggle up with your favorite book
Next to the bed is an antique dresser where we have installed a flat screen plasma TV and DVD player so the children can watch a movie in the bedroom while the adults relax in the living room; it's great to vacation together, but also nice to have space to yourself. A built-in double closet is on the left just before the en suite bathroom. In keeping with providing every comfort, we have built shelves on either side of the bed with bedside lamps so you can read at night.

From the master bedroom towards the living room
The design of our St Julien short term rental is excellent because all rooms are accessed from the main corridor allowing for more privacy for groups.

En suite bathroom with shower, sinks, toilet and storage
The first bathroom is en suite to the master bedroom and features a large, glass-enclosed shower with fixed shower head, dual sinks, toilet, cupboard and plenty of hooks. We have tiled it with large pieces of Travertine marble and a line of copper mosaics at the top; the look is clean and modern.

Bathroom 2 with bathtub-shower and sink; separate toilet
The second bathroom is to the left of the bedroom, at the end of the hall. It is tiled in Botticcino marble with full-sized bathtub with fixed and flexible shower heads, modern sink and good storage.

The first toilet is located in the main hallway and there is a full-sized washer and dryer in the closet next to the toilet.

An anecdote about the marble bathrooms in St. Julien. We use quality materials in our apartments, our bill for marble tiles was high enough to make us research a source in Italy. Since Madelyn grew up in Italy, she scoured the quarries near Carrara and Pisa -- only to find we are too small to deal direct for our needs. But she located an excellent distributor in Empoli where the selection was enormous and prices were half those we paid in Paris, an astonishing difference when it is a day's drive away. After much translation and emails regarding finish, colors, sizes, quality etc in rusty Italian, the first order arrived in April for Volnay and St. Julien. Philippe says Madelyn has no sense of volume and he was absolutely right when the marble was delivered. The trucker dropped off two entire tons of marble tiles on the sidewalk and left. Some of us had no idea that marble for three bathrooms and two toilets would weigh so much! The builder was furious because he wasn't forewarned; he didn't have enough men on site to carry it up by the stairs. Much apologizing later, it was finally delivered to the apartments and beautifully laid. From now on, we will book a special day to carry up the next delivery, especially because it will go to an apartment located on the 6th floor. It was worth it; the bathrooms are beautiful!

Beautiful Paris apartment rental building on the Left Bank

A wonderful neighborhood
Angels in the snow from the building across the street, the view from the living room. It's a beautiful Haussmanian street, located just on the famous Champ du Mars Gardens. There are 3 playgrounds, basketball court, puppet theatre, hand cranked carousel. You see generations of French families sitting on benches, taking their children and grandchildren to the park on Sunday afternoons.

The French flag against the snow

One of the most sought-after quartiers in Paris
This is one of the most sought-after quartiers in Paris because of the expansive, tree-lined boulevards and beautiful, Haussmanian buildings. This is the building you see across the street; we love the decorative angels at the top.

Apartment is a short, five-minute walk from the river Seine
Stroll to the Seine river and enjoy incredible views at sunset. Walk to the Musee' d'Orsay, Grand Palais, Palais Chaillot, Louvre, or hop on the RER to go direct to Notre Dame.

Walk to the Champ de Mars park in less than 2 minutes!
Having such a large park so close is a rare amenity in Paris as there are few large open green spaces near most Paris short-term apartment rentals. Champ de Mars has four different playgrounds, a bike rental, mini-car tracks set up for kids to pedal around, and even a puppet theater to keep them entertained. It's also great for taking a leisurely stroll after dinner and maybe join the crowd below the Eiffel Tower when it first lights up in the evening.
