Ile Saint-Louis terrace apartment

This discreet and self-contained island is one of the most enchanting places to stay. It is delightfully unspoiled and has a mixture of handsome 17th century architecture, modern boutiques, narrow streets and magnificent views from its tree-lined quays. Many of the houses on this prime piece of real estate were built in the 16th century for the Noble Families on the quays of what was once called “ Ile aux Vaches” (Island of Cows). This small island sits directly behind the Ile de la Cité, a stone’s throw from Notre Dame. Running lengthways 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, boulangeries, a wonderful cheese shop and many pretty teahouses. The island has a village feel about it and after staying only a day or so, it will start to feel local and very familiar. All of the most important and beautiful places are located close to the Ile St-Louis: the Louvre Museum, the Centre Pompidou, the left Bank, Latin Quarter and Sainte Chapelle, all within a close radius and easy to get to on foot. The Sully-Morland Metro station is 5 minutes away. Located on the Ile Saint-Louis, in a 17th Century Noble Townhouse, this privileged property has been entirely renovated and offers all expectations: great location, historic neighbourhood, the modern conveniences of home and the old world charm. You cannot find a better base for your Parisian holidays, with an excellent mixture of « le Grand siècle » and all the conveniences of the 21st century.
