The Reveal

If you decide to come stay with us, you’ll be in the heart of Paris between les Halles and Beaubourg, steps away form the Marais and the Montorgeuil quartiers. In a 120 m2 apartment on the 5th floor (with lift/elevator), the Hausmann building dates from the early 1900s. The balcony stretches the entire front of the apartment (6 windows) with a lunging view onto the pedestrian street below, with a vélib station (rental bikes) at the front door. With the exception of the kitchen and baths, all the rooms have conserved their ceiling moldings and parquet floors from the original construction.

Your bedroom has direct access to the balcony by 2 french windows, giving marvelous light while the double glazing isolates the sound from the outside for full relaxation. The shower and sink are accessed directly from the bedroom. Your private WC is not in the bedroom, but is for your use only.

John was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Benoit in Cahors in the southwest of France. Different paths bought us to Paris a long time ago, and it is here were we mat in 1993, and have been together since. John travels a huge amount for his work and Benoit works in the Défense (business district). We are epicurean, love to travel, enjoy nature or sometimes just staying home to do nothing...

Nearby Attractions

You’ll be amongst some of the most beautiful buildings that Paris offers : the Louvre museum, Notre-Dame, la Saint Chapelle, la Conciergerie, Pompidou (MOMA) are within 5 minutes by foot. Or lose yourself in the largest shopping complex of Paris (Forum des Halles), or perhaps you prefer to stroll in the charming streets to see the boutiques of Montorgeuil, the Marais and the rue des Francs Bourgeois.

Come evening, you’ll have access by foot to the nightlife (bars/clubs) since you are so central.

Châtelet-les-Halles is also the heart of the Parisian transport network, multiple métro and bus lines will bring you anywhere in Paris in 30 minutes. Also the RER (regional train) brings you to all of the île de France, La Défense, and CDG and Orly airports.

And of course Paris is filled with secret and curious places we can help you discover.

Hoping to see you soon “chez nous”. John & Benoit

Located very close to metro and RER (Chatelet Station). Many shops and restaurants in walking distance. Elevator in apartment building. Cozy bedroom with own connected ensuite shower/sink and own separate toilet room to use off the living room. Hosts provided check-in/out instructions and guidance for use of apartment amenities. Hosts were home the first two days of our stay; we had the apartment to ourselves the last day.

Very nice apartment, quiet bedroom with private bathroom. Ideally located just steps away from the Halles RER and the Marais. Thank you to John and Benoît for inviting me with them to the restaurant where we took the time to chat pleasantly. Highly recommended.

John and Benoit were cordial. Their place is very well located and close to everything!, and the view from the balcony made me feel in Paris, besides the comfort. Merci!

John and Ben were supurb hosts, proving a cozy, very large apartment to relax and take in the city center. They are great guys. So helpful with travel tips. Unnaturally large bedroom with attached bath compared to a hotel at much more Euros. So easy to get there from the airport. Walking distance to so many sights and next to the biggest metro hub. So many places to eat and most important, get pastry just steps away. Plenty of bars and baths too.nearby, too. I could not have had a better time.
