Apartment
description :
A place with an incredibly
intelligent use of the space, this apartment has
a special character given by its saddle roof tops,
the mansarde style windows, and the ceiling wood
logs enhancing the age and the rustic style of
the construction.
Closets and shelves were emplaced inside the apartment
walls, to obtain a more efficient use of every
inch of space.
It is located in the 6th floor of a building constructed
in the center of Paris' Marais, on Rue Rambeautou,
a street opened in 1838 under the administration
of Claude Barthelot, the Seine's Prefect of Police.
In number 40 of this street, the couple Cognacq-Jay,
later on the founders and owners of a chain of
stores met each other in La Nouvelle Eloise, and
later on got married. They were the owners of
the Samaritane stores, and they were the culprit
of progress and social and economical ascent of
their time. Straight from Rambuteau and while
going west, there is a big group of cinemas, stores
and commercial centers such as Les Halles, Les
Grands Magasins, which cannot be missed by the
tourist and shopper. Going north on Rue de Beauborg,
The Musée des Arts et Métiers and
many theaters and cinemas might awaken the interests
and curiosity from culture searching tourists.
South from Rambuteau and on Rue Renard, l'Hôtel
de Ville and its magnificent architecture will
pick the zoom from all cameras. East and south
of this street, an area of mansions and splendid
museums opens up its doors with places as Le Musée
National Picasso, Le Musée Carnavalet,
and Le Musée d'Histoire de Paris. Throughout
the area there is variety assortment of elegant
boutiques, little specialty stores, cafes and
restaurants at your doorstep. You are asked to
