Very clean & cosy central Paris 3-bed apartment with balconies

Located in central Paris, just minutes` walk from the amazing Natural History Museum and the Jardin des Plantes (our kids love it!) and its small zoo, play area and lovely alpine garden, our 82m2 family apartment was completely refurbished 5 years ago and was entirely redecorated 2 months ago.

It is suitable for a wide range of travellers: families, couples or solo travellers. We can look to move round the sleeping arrangements a little if required!

Upon entering the building, you can walk up one flight of stairs, or take the small lift, to our apartment which has 3 bedrooms :

- one with super king bed and desk workspace
- one with kid's-size single bed (for our 4 year-old) and additional pull-out single mattress underneath
- one with baby bed 120 x 60cm (for our 2 year-old) which we will soon replace with a kid's-size single

(If needed, we could put a double bed in one of the children's bedrooms in place of their bed).

There is a fully-equipped kitchen with washing/drying combi machine, oven, induction hobs, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and table with 4 chairs.

The living room has a sofa which converts into a very comfortable double bed if needed, and an upright Steinway piano with silent system.

Our bathroom has a full-size bath with shower overhead, and a sink and w/c. The shower is strong and hot water is plentiful.

We also have a very handy second w/c next to the bathroom.

There is a balcony to the front of the apartment, giving onto the street, and a second balcony stretching along the 3 bedrooms at the back of the apartment, giving onto the very quiet, peaceful and little-used garden of our downstairs elderly neighbours. You will certainly enjoy sitting out with a glass of wine in the evening!

For children there are all the toys & books (mostly in English but French, too) of our 4 year-old boy and 2 year-old girl, and we can get out our high-chair and pushchair if needed, just let us know. We can equally store them all away if needed.

A few final points:
We have wonderful neighbours and so we would ask that you be very respectful, keeping noise to a minimum.
We are also very house proud and don't wear shoes inside, and we'd ask you to do the same.
We have an excellent cleaner who comes once a week, and we would be more than happy (and keen!) for her to continue to come during your stay.

Very important! - We have many plants on our balconies and would need to you water them daily, using the hosepipes on each balcony, being careful to turn off at the taps once finished.
Absolutely no smoking anywhere, please.

About the location

The Jardin des Plantes area in Paris is great for nature lovers and history buffs alike. Located in the heart of the city, this beautiful botanical garden is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of Parisian streets and immerse yourself in a world of lush greenery and tranquility. Our kids in particular love the zoo and the merry-go-round!

Established in 1626 by King Louis XIII there are over 10,000 species of plants from around the world. There are many carefully manicured flower beds, ponds (the many ducks and frogs will delight any children!), and you will enjoy taking in the fragrant scents and vibrant colours of the diverse plant life.

The Jardin des Plantes is also home to the Natural History Museum which includes some fabulous dinosaur skeletons in one of its buildings.

Our family-orientated neighbourhood has absolutely everything you will need: supermarkets, bakeries, cafés, restaurants, pharmacies, doctors, La Poste, numerous small squares and gardens with play equipment for children…

A 5-minute walk down our street takes you to a beautiful square and church, located at the bottom of the very famous and authentic rue Mouffetard with its cobbles and traditional bakeries and stores (there’s also a Starbucks!).

A short bus journey or walk will take you to the Panthéon, and then a short walk down to the Jardin du Luxembourg with its puppet theatre for kids, donkey rides, sandpits, water bassin where you can sail model boats for hire, large play area (we can never get our kids to leave!) and more.

Being so central it is possible to walk to a great many attractions, but if you want to take public transport then you couldn`t be better placed with many buses on the boulevard behind our street; and especially with the extremely practical Métro & RER stations within 5-10 minutes’ walk:

- METRO: Saint Marcel, line 5 - direct to garde du nord for Eurostar (or change here onto the RER B for Direct service to CDG airport), Bastille & République (walking distance to Le Marais).
- METRO: Censier Daubenton, line 7 - direct to the Opéra Garnier & the Louvre.
- RER : Austerlitz, RER C - direct to Notre Dame, Musée d`Orsay, Invalides, Eiffel Tower & Versailles.

Families will love:
- Natural History Museum 5 minutes on foot from our apartment
- Jardin des Plantes 5 minutes on froot from our apartment
- The river Seine 10 minutes on foot, which you can follow along on a lovely walk to Notre Dame
- The many gardens / parks with activities for children nearby
- A great ice-cream parlour 1 minute from our apartment
- The fantastic bakery 1 minute away from our apartment
- For adults & older children there is Paris’ only year-long heated outdoor pool 20 minutes’ walk away (Piscine de la Butte aux Cailles)
- For younger children there is the Piscine Jean Taris with kids’ shallow pool (Piscine Jean Taris) which is to the top of the rue Mouffetard
- Cinemas close by
