LOCATION

This discreet and self-contained island is one of the most enchanting places to stay in Paris. It is delightfully unspoiled and has a mixture of handsome XVII century architecture, modern boutiques, narrow streets and magnificent views from its tree-lined quays.

Many of the houses on this prime location, uninhabited until the XVI century, were built for noble families on the quays of what was once called “Ile aux Vaches” (Island of Cows). It sits directly behind the Ile de la Cite, a mere stone’s throw away from Notre Dame. Running lengthwise along the island is the main street, Rue Saint Louis en L’Ile. It boasts a baroque church, refined boutiques, old-fashioned bistros and brasseries, delicate chocolate and food shops, a florist, bakeries, a wonderful cheese shop and many pretty teahouses. The island has a village feel about it and after staying in it a day or two, you will be enamored.

Many of the most important and attractive sites of Paris are located nearby. The Pompidou Center, the Louvre Museum, the Tuileries Gardens, Champs Elysees, the Sainte Chapelle, the Latin Quarter, the Bastille & the Marais are either within walking distance or can be easily reached by taking the metro line N°1 on the nearby “St Paul” station.

Situated on Ile Saint Louis, this charming one bedroom is located on the second floor of a XVII century building, facing the River Seine.
