Step into a stone-fronted building located three blocks from the Seine River and two blocks from the Eiffel Tower. The building dates from the 1800’s and is in the ‘Pierre de Paris’ stone finish. It is on a tree-lined Avenue only two blocks from the Eiffel Tower. The apartment is located in the second building, accessed via the attractive lobby and and through a small courtyard. Take the elevator to the 7th floor. The elevator is small and in excellent working order.

Open the front door and enter this sunny, fully remodeled one bedroom apartment! The apartment measures approximately 408 square feet (approximately 38 square meters) and has been designed and finished to a beautiful standard for maximum comfort and efficiency. The apartment, called the Medoc apartment in Paris is named after the region in Bordeaux which produces some of the finest wines in the world.

Find a charming ‘Monsieur Lapin’ or Mr Rabbit coat hook on the left wall, one of the practical touches you’ll find in our apartments. On your immediate right is the powder room with toilet and an antique marble sink. The softly curved wall on your left features the pretty white sink carved in a shell pattern, sitting on limestone countertop. We found it in Italy many years ago and saved it for the perfect Paris apartment. It is a perfect fit here. On the right is a long window means plenty of natural light. There is a cabinet behind the toilet for storage.

Step into the living room and find the long sofa on the far wall, faced by a pretty beige armchair. To the right of the sofa sits a decorative wooden fireplace and antique mirror above.

The sofa is over six feet in length so you can take naps on it during lazy afternoons. It has a trundle bed underneath and converts to two single beds at night. Find a pretty Italian mural behind the sofa in browns and ochre colors. Look left and open the French doors to the balcony, framed by beautiful silk curtains. The view and balcony are a rarity in Paris apartments; what a pleasure to open them on and gaze out over the City of Light the moment you arrive! The apartment is located on the courtyard and because it’s on the top floor, it enjoys Paris rooftop views.

One of our biggest frustrations when we moved to France was trying to read with 20 watt light bulbs in dark, depressing rooms. We vowed to remodel our apartments with plenty of good lighting. Our builders were amazed at how many lights we insisted on, but they make all the difference. There the charming metal and crystal chandelier in the center of the room as well as brushed chrome reading lamps behind the sofa. Facing the sofa is comfortable French armchair in pale beige. And there is a closet on your left for storage.

Just beyond the living room you’ll find the bedroom. You’re immediately drawn to the balcony and views over Paris rooftops. In the distance is the golden Invalides dome, where Napoleon is buried and home to one of the largest and most interesting military museums in the world. The golden dome is softly lit up at night, a wonderful and romantic view. Rare and wonderful are the balconies and French doors where you can step out and enjoy the fresh air and sunlight all day long.

The bedroom features an extra-wide queen-sized bed and closets on either side of the French doors. The point de resistance is the second small balcony, where you can step out and savor views the Invalides dome day and night. On the far side of the bed is a small bookcase and pretty antique mirror that reflects the blue skies of Paris. On the console table, we installed TV points for a flat screen TV in this room, as well as a multi standard DVD player so you can watch TV from bed. Charming bedside lamps sit above two antique bronze and glass half-moon night tables. And a crystal chandelier adds the final touch. We love the crystal reflection in the pretty round mirror.

Back to the living room and continue to the kitchen and dining area. The apartment is compact, but the feeling of space is marvelous. The built-in kitchen features every appliance you need set into pale beech wood cabinets. Find full-sized refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave/convection oven combination and even a Nespresso machine.

Just in front is the oval oak table in French Provincial style that comfortably seats four. Another chandelier hangs over the table, adding a soft touch for dining with family and friends. Small points that aren’t immediately obvious; count the number of electrical outlets in the kitchen. We found that architects and builders never allow for enough, so we doubled them. There are enough plugs for all of your appliances.

Turn left into the beautiful bathroom. Our architect outdid himself by using all of the extra space in the corner to build a beautiful walk-in shower using pale botticcino marble. Find fixed and flexible shower heads, which we insist on. Not obvious is the fact that we also insist on large hot water tanks so everyone can take a hot shower in the morning. Sitting on the stone counter is a round sink and mirrored medicine chest above.

We think you’ll find this to be one of the most comfortable and well-situated apartments in Paris. Please contact us at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are interested in purchasing it.

We had a lovely stay at the Medoc apartment. The apartment was compact but had everything we needed including charming little balconies and view of the Invalides dome. Very romantic! It was also very well decorated to give us a homely feel. No doubt we will be back again. Thank you!

My wife and I visited Paris with our 16-yr-old granddaughters. After having difficulty locating Paris hotel rooms with accommodations for four, we fortunately discovered the user friendly ParisPerfect website through Google. This informative website and personal phone support made the reservation process very easy. The extensive package attached to email that was sent after reservations was very helpful in planning our stay in Paris. The competent staff that greeted us in the Medoc on arrival politely answered our many questions about the unit and the neighborhood, and gave us great advice about our visit to Paris. We enjoyed the usual Paris attractions, but walking and shopping in the convenient neighborhood between the Eiffel Tower and Rue Cler area was the highlight of our trip. The Medoc was comfortable and all appliances worked without problems. The grandkids loved the Espresso machine. A phone call to the ParisPerfect office was all that was needed to arrange timely transportation to Charles DeGaulle. Paris Perfect is Perfect!

Thank you Paris Perfect for your wonderful "Medoc" apartment very close to the Eiffel Tower. The apartment was exactly as depicted on the internet (which was a great relief!) The apartment was spotless and had everything our family of four needed including information about restaurants, shops and transport in the local area. I can highly recommend "Paris Perfect" for their professional service from booking the apartment on the internet to the meet and greet in Paris which made our trip to Paris very enjoyable! Thank you very much Paris Perfect.
