Located in a grand Haussmannian building, just steps from Le Centre Georges Pompidou, Le Beaubourg is a masterpiece of design and function. Warm, elegant shimmery colors mixed with luxurious fabrics, rich upholstery and elegant crystal and glassworks combine to create a space that you won’t want to leave.

Upon entering the apartment, to the left is a gleaming new kitchen which features a stainless steel countertop, oven/microwave combination, refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, two-burner stovetop, coffee maker, kettle, toaster and all of the pots, pans, utensils and implements needed to allow you to be self sustaining during your stay.

Self-prepared meals can be enjoyed on the beautiful Art Deco dining table, which comes complete with 4 upholstered chairs and sits under a magnificent crystal chandelier and opposite a fine antique mirror. For more relaxed seating, there are two strategically placed leather armchairs, from which you can contemplate your next foray in the City of Light or watch the Sony flat screen television. With over 100 channels available, as well as a DVD player, your viewing needs are well covered.

The queen-sized bed with padded headboard is made up with fine linens and an abundance of fluffy pillows, and flanked by two Art Deco night tables, each with its own lamp. The mirrored closet provides ample storage and hanging space, which is supplemented by another closet just inside the door of the apartment.

Just opposite the bed, is the salle de bain, with exquisite shimmering tiles, standup shower, toilet and sink. Thick, designer towels are provided for your comfort.

The apartment’s two large windows allow lots of light to enter the apartment, but also allow you to exit to the balcony where you can get a closer look at the brilliant view of Paris rooftops. Iron balcony chairs are provided.

Included with your stay is free access to the apartment’s WiFi connection as well as use of the telephone, which allows you to call over 90 countries at no cost.

The Area Around Le Beaubourg

Located between three convenient Métro stations in the 3rd arrondissement, but on the edge of the 4th and 2nd districts, you will find this location in Paris ideal. Just steps away is the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Hôtel de Ville, Eglise Sainte-Merri, Les Halles and it's just a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame. Being in the heart of Le Marais, the city's oldest and most historic district, you will have access to most of the city's museums, a multitude of restaurants, boutiques and lots of nightlife including the city's best jazz clubs.

Le Centre Georges Pompidou is the National Center for Art and Culture, well known for its extensive contemporary art collection, a public library, the Atelier Brancusi, gift shop, book store and a trendy restaurant on the top level, "Georges." A controversial structure which has been made architectural renown is a colorful mark on the landscape, and affords some of the finest views from the caterpillar-like exterior escalators.

The Hôtel de Ville is the City Hall and the center of political activity. Just in front on rue de Rivoli is one of the city's most important department stores, the Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville (BHV), famous for its complete "sous sol" (basement level), heaven for the do-it-yourselfer. L'Eglise Sainte-Merri is a 16th-century gothic church whose tower houses the oldest church bell in Paris, built for the original chapel in 1313. Notre Dame is just a short walk away to the Ile de la Cité and a few steps further puts you on the Left Bank.

Les Halles, once the city's central market, is very nearby to the west with cinemas and lots of shopping. The neighborhood is forever lively and missing nothing for both tourists and residents. To the east is all of Le Marais to discover the centuries-old "hôtels particuliers" (townhouses), museums, chic boutiques, galleries and restaurants.

You will love the central location and animated neighborhood that makes a stay here as convenient to all the city has to offer as one can imagine.

Thanks again for making our vacation such a smooth pleasure!

We just returned from our week in Paris at Le Beaubourg, and it was fantastic. John was there to meet us just as he said he would be and was so nice and helpful with advice about trains and the Paris Shuttle to the airport for our return. He is beautifully bi-lingual so he even corrected a few ms-pronounced French words for us. ("Beaubourg" is a killer for the English tongue, I won't even try to tell you phonetically, but just think of puffing out your lips in rapid succession while saying boboo and you will be close.) The apartment is compact and beautiful, and looks just like the photo's online. The telephone with an answering machine worked great and having the free calls back to the states was a real plus. The flat is so well placed that you can walk to most everything and for those places you can't walk to there are Metro stops a block or two either way, plus a bus stop across the street, and it feels like a very safe neighborhood to walk around in.

The flat is very well laid out with plenty of storage space and modern appliances for preparing simple meals. The appliances are all European (of course) so if you are from the States play close attention when they are explained, we had a few comical moments with the stove. We found spices, sugar, oils, napkins etc and even coffee filters there so cooking would be a snap. The kitchen was beautifully supplied, no mismatched sets here. The small elevator worked very well, but the open, curving staircase is right next to it if you wish to climb the six stories. We were surprised and pleased to find several wonderful (is there another kind?) boulangeries and small grocery stores within three to four blocks (down near the Pompidou) and great restaurants within about a four block radius. We had used the google maps site on the Parler Paris web site to actually see the street and surroundings before we left home so we already knew what direction everything was from there and
what it looked like. If you haven't tried just click on the little man figure in the upper left of the maps of the apartment sites and drag him where ever you want and you will see an actual 360 degree photo of the area.

Here is a useful hint that I wish someone had told me before we left: you can actually make reservations to go up the Tour Eiffel and not have to wait in any line. Just google it online, you're welcome! There is relatively new museum called Musée du quai Branly, near the Tour Eiffel that you should not miss, it was outstanding. And, remember commuter traffic in the metro and rail stations is intense just before and after work hours and not particularly tourist friendly. Other than the rush hour impatience, we found as we always have in the past, the French are lovely, gracious people who appreciate it when you speak a little of their language, or at least try, and if they don't speak your language and you do not understand theirs, keep a sense of humor about it and use inventive methods to make yourself understood. That is the spirit and excitement of travel.

We were thrilled with Parler Paris Apartments. The accommodations and service were outstanding. John gave us his cell phone number which we didn't hesitate to use and always got a gracious response. I can't think of any improvement on Le Beaubourg, it just couldn't be nicer. We also flew on the all business class Open Skies Airlines that I had read about on the Parler Paris site and it was unbelievably wonderful too. Bon voyage! We want to go back.
