Fabulous location on a quiet and period street in the heart of Paris, in St-Germain, 5 min walking to the Louvre, 15 min to d'Orsay or Notre-Dame.
Exquisite Hôtel Particulier (town house) of 1600. 50m2 lounge with unique original painted beams and view to Institut de France's famous Cupola.
Modern fully equipped kitchen. Sumptuous dining-room accommodating 10. Suite of 2 deluxe bedrooms with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, one overview the Cupola, the other has its private terrace.
The space
Behind the front door, made in 1600 from plain wood and decorated with original ironwork, a paved porch, with original ceiling beams, leads to the private patio that gives its name to the Patio Mazarine residence, a recently renovated Parisian spot of luxury and uniqueness.
Your fob opens the large door of glass and black metal: welcome to your private town house! Prepare for an experience of noble materials: solid oak flooring, wrought iron, antique tiles, marble baths, high quality natural linens, of state-of-the-art equipment — broadband WiFi — and of ultimate comfort — A/C.
Use the prestigious wrought iron, tomettes and wood staircase, one of the most remarkable Parisian staircases of the 1600's, to reach the Noble Floor: the 2nd floor.
Let's start our tour with the dining room. Silver cutlery, Saint-Louis lead crystal glasses, magnificent tablecloths and napkins selected to fit the 3 meters long solid sono wood table, and the hidden sound system: every little thing was designed to make your meals an out of the time experience, in full accordance with the Arts de la Table.
Let us proceed to the kitchen. Worktops of black granite, floor of blue Hainaut stone, and top level appliances, like: Quooker for hot and cold filtered water, large capacity refrigerator with an ice cubes maker, juicer, Thermomix food processor, and steam oven in addition to the standard oven.
Ready for the wow moment? Then, push the solid oak door to the lounge, and stay in awe as you discover this unique and spacious spot in Paris. More than 50 m2 (550 sq ft) flooded with the light from 6 tall period windows, one of which overlooks the Institut de France's Cupola. More than 3 meters high, the original, very rare, painted beams are telling you stories from more than 400 years ago. Under your feet, the period Versailles flooring.
Every detail was generously sized with your comfort in mind: the sofa for 6 to 8, the big armchair, the tall Bösendorfer white upright piano, the big-screen TV connected to hidden speakers and subwoofer, with the Apple TV providing you free access to thousands of movies, to TV shows, to countless music tracks and to a thousand TV channels…
The magic continues as you proceed to your bedrooms: your Suite is in the 3rd floor of the unforgettable staircase.
The Master Bedroom provides a magnificent view to the Institut de France's Cupola, a lounge area with three Louis XV armchairs and a comfortable banquette around a round table made of raw wood, a corridor closet with a safe, and a beautiful bathroom featuring large mirrors and white marble, toilets with a handheld shower, heated towel rack and heated floor.
In the smaller Bedroom, either for children or for another couple, marble and granite bathroom with an illuminated shower, spacious walk-in closet, and an illuminated private terrace with a giant jasmine, two chairs and a garden table for a moment of total peacefulness. Again there, a TV with Apple TV like in the main lounge.
The temperature is ideal all year long in the bedrooms, thanks to an effective, quiet, central A/C — a feature rarely available in a building built in 1600 — and powerful heaters with thermostats you can adjust as you wish.
In the patio, a period door opens to the building's laundry room, that you're welcome to use from 7pm to 12pm. You will find there the high-end Miele machines: washer with automatized detergent supply, dryer, and steam ironing system.
Guest access
The large table in the patio is shared with other Guests in the building. You can have a drink or a snack there at any time of the day or the night, on comfortable banquettes, in a spot enjoyable in every season: shady thus cooler in Summer, yet sheltered and equipped with IR heaters.
In that same patio, a wooden door opens to an independent room: the laundry room. Behind that period (1600) door: high-end Miele washer, dryer and steam ironing system.
The laundry room is shared with the Guests from another unit. You are welcome using it in the evening, after 7pm, and in the morning, before 12pm.
Other things to note
The housekeepers clean your apartment every other day, and replace the linen and towels every four days.
A courtesy iPhone is yours for your stay. The iPhone provides all the information about your apartment, plus tourist information such as my commented selection of restaurants nearby, a selection of spots around where to shop for good food, and the 3 official hiking paths in Paris.

Neighbourhood highlights
A HISTORIC AREA
You will stay in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the artistic, cultural and intellectual center in Paris, located Rive Gauche (Left Bank). Each street, each building, is connected to a fascinating history, and to art:
• the Louvre, a fortress built in 1200 to defend Paris from Richard the Lionheart, then the Palace of the kings of France until the French Revolution (1790), now an impressive art museum,
• the Institute of France, a Military School built in 1660 exactly in front of the Louvre, made by Napoleon into the place where the "Immortals": French Academy, Academy of Sciences, Academy of Arts etc, work every day, under the Cuppola,
• the Saint-Germain Benedictine abbey, founded in 550 then rebuilt in 1150, a major international knowledge center which was able to attract all kinds of intellectuals, artists as well as engineers until 1790,
• rue Mazarine, rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, rue Monsieur le Prince, streets that were built 820 years ago to inspect the wide moat around the City Wall,
• Balzac's printing house, nestled amongst the neighbouring bookshops, publishing houses, and the literary salons of the intellectual elite of the 20th century — Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Proust, etc.
• Delacroix's secret workshop and secret garden,
• the École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts), whose students — still today — you see spread in the area with cardboard drawing, training in the Louvre, a few steps from your apartment by crossing the Pont des Arts, or down your windows sketching the Dome of Institute of France.
Rue Mazarine itself housed many characters who left their print in History of France. Molière created there the "Illustrious Theatre". A book of Balzac describes rooms in your residence itself! Manet (French impressionist) and Champollion (the decoder of the Rosetta Stone) lived in that street. You can also discover more remnants, including towers and parts of the Philippe II's City Wall, edificated in 1200.
ARTS AND CULTURE
The 6th, or 6th arrondissement, has always been the area for arts and culture in Paris. Its charm and elegance and the quality of life it provides attracted many artists and intellectuals, making it the location of French cultural vanguard. You will discover in your neighborhood over one hundred art galleries, and the most famous French publishing houses. Four famous Brasseries in the 6th: Lipp, Deux Magots, Café de Flore and Procope, award literary prizes.
NIGHT LIFE
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the students' and artists' area where a passionate youth lives. Since the 50's, Juliette Greco and Miles Davis, Jazz, the wine cellars of Saint-Germain, Boris Vian and Man Ray, lively streets resound with this bountiful heritage which make the Parisian night vibrate. The density of trendy bars, wine bars and restaurants will immerse you into this extraordinary atmosphere.
SHOPPING & LIFESTYLE
Rive Gauche means art of French living, regarding both style and pleasure. For shopping addicts: Hermes, Ralph Lauren, Sonia Rykiel, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Bon Marché, Montblanc, Cartier, and many more in-style shops to discover. For gourmets: Ladurée Bonaparte, Maison du Chocolat, Pierre Hermé, Maison Mulot, Mariage Frères, Pâtisserie des Rêves, the Grande Epicerie du Bon Marché.
RESTAURANTS
The number of restaurant nearby is such that you are sure to find what suits you, in terms of kind of food and budget: the most famous outstanding restaurants, including several world-class restaurants such as La Tour d'Argent or Guy Savoy, as well as typical Parisian bistrots and brasseries. The iPhone provided to you for your stay contains a commented selection of restaurants of all kinds and price levels.
