This one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, just four minutes on foot from the legendary cafés along Boulevard Saint-Germain. The space retains original Haussmann features including high ceilings with decorative plasterwork, herringbone parquet floors, and tall windows that open onto a street full of independent French shops and restaurants.

The main room combines living and dining areas around a marble fireplace topped with a period mirror. A crystal chandelier hangs from an ornate ceiling medallion. Built-in bookshelves line one wall, and French doors lead to other rooms. The dining area has a dark wood table with clear acrylic chairs.

Large windows with floor-length curtains bring in natural light throughout the day. The bedroom features the same period details - high ceilings, parquet floors, and a second crystal chandelier. Original moldings frame doorways and windows.

The apartment maintains its 19th-century character while incorporating modern conveniences. The neutral color scheme and mix of antique and contemporary furnishings create a livable space that feels authentically Parisian rather than overly precious. The bathroom and kitchen are both large, newly renovated, and full of contemporary finishes.

Location puts you steps from Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, and the intellectual energy that has defined this neighborhood for decades. The Seine, Luxembourg Gardens, and excellent shopping are all within easy walking distance.

I am a writer living in Paris, and looking to let my home out occasionally while traveling to people who will treat it as their own.

Dates in early November and late December will also be available, so please feel free to reach out if you will be traveling to Paris later in the fall in addition to the December dates.
