Once settled into one of our rentals, prepare to begin your Paris vacation! Take the metro lines 7 and 9 (near many of our apartments in Paris) to arrive at Mirosmenil for the Musée Jacquemart André. The museums audio guide tells the story of how Nélie Jacquemart met banker Edouard André when she was painting his portrait. Otherwise refer to our Paris Apartments guide for an abridged version. They got married and travelled the world collecting art, now stored in their very romantic ‘private museum’. After your visit to the museum, treat yourselves to tea and cakes under a Tieopolo ceiling in the café. You could always opt for taking one back to our apartments.

Time for a drink! Take the bus from St Philippe du Roule station (near our Garnier Paris rentals) to the Arc de Triomphe. In Summer, take the lift to the 7th floor of the Hotel Raphael to enjoy martinis with a view of the setting. Our Paris Vacation Rentals are only a short cab ride away. The showstopper is the vertical garden in the inner courtyard overflowing with hundreds of exotic plants and flowers.

Stroll down to the river and jump on a Bateau Bus (river boat) at Pont d’Alma. The boats run every half an hour – the ride is magnificent, taking in some of Paris’ major sights – the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay to name just a few. You will also sail past a number of our apartment rentals. Jump off at Hôtel de Ville and stroll into the Marais for dinner. The 'Marais' is today amongst Paris' most characteristic neighbourhoods. It is thriving, trendy and a delight to explore. Its medieval lanes are home to impressive mansions, museums, up-and-coming artists' galleries and designers' showrooms. That said, the area is artistic rather than touristy and has been christened the latest refuge for the Paris artisan fleeing the tourist-trampled St-Germain-des-Pres. No surprise then that some of the city's most authentic bistrots, brasseries, cafés and street markets are to be found here. There are so many restaurants to recommend in the area. These are detailed in your Paris Apartment Rentals guide. One of our favourites is Georget. The family is called Georget but the restaurant is also known as Robert et Louise, the anachronism giving you some clue for the charm that awaits. This comes highly recommended during your vacation in Paris.

We look forward to welcoming you and hope to give you one of the most memorable holiday experiences that you shall cherish for the rest of your life.
