Hello,
My fiance and I are looking to exchange our corner one-bedroom flat (description below) in the center of Paris (2nd arrt) for a flat in downtown Manhattan from 25 or 26 August - 5/6/7 September 2008. The description of our flat is below. Photos are available upon request. The New Yorker is welcome to stay at our flat from 16 August - 7 September, as we'll be gone.
Ideally we're looking for a flat anywhere below 34th Street (West Village, Chelsea, Gramercy Park/Flat Iron, East Village, SoHo, TriBeCa, even the Financial District, etc)
If interested, please contact me at goosietheduck@yahoo.com or by phone +33 6 86 13 32 12.
Many thanks,
Charlotte
PARIS ONE-BEDROOM FLAT AVAILABLE
A sunny, corner one-bedroom nestled on the top of Sentier’s hill, facing the roof-top of Notre-Dame de Bonne Nouvelle, in a 17th century building (with beams), eastern light (living room), southern light (bedroom). Lovely window-boxes and plants. 3rd floor walk up, 35 square meters/350 sq feet.
CONTENTS:
Queen-sized bed, fully furnished kitchen (or as the French would have it: ‘American kitchen,’ with open bar) and bathroom, washing machine, wi-fi connection, TV, stereo, linens, towels, etc. I leave out a full library of maps, architecture and photo books, dictionaries and phrase books of Paris and a pay per card mobile for local number to those we swap with, but our books (predominately in English and Spanish) are also obviously out. Table that expands to a six person dinner table, with six chairs.
LOCATION:
On the corner of rue N-D de Bonne Nouvelle (which runs only two blocks long) and rue Beauregard, it's near the Grand Boulevards but removed and very quiet. Sentier, the neighbourhood is within Charles V's city walls (where the Grands Boulevards is now) so most of the buildings date to the 17th Century. The church whose roof top we have a view of, across the narrow street was originally built in the 17th Century but but was re-built by Parisian architect Hypolite Godde in 1830.
It's a 5-minute stroll to trendy pedestrian market streets/rues Montorgueil and Faubourg St. Denis, where you have cafes, fromageries, patisseries, fish-mongers, butchers, cleaners, banks, etc. 15 to 20 minutes by foot from: the Seine and Louvre (south), Garnier’s Opera and Galerie Lafayette (west), place de la Republique and Canal St. Martin (east), Marais and Pompidou Museum (south-east) and Eglise St. Vincent et Paul and Bobo 9th arrt (north).
TRANSPORT:
Three-minute walk to metro hubs Bonne Nouvelle (lines 8, 9), Strausbourg St Denis (lines 4, 8, 9) and five minute walk to Sentier (line 3), and all central busses. Velib station for a bike up our road and across the Grands Boulevard (3 minute walk)
