On a quiet cobble-stone street, just around the corner from one of the last remaining windmills on the hill of Montmartre, and on the same street where Picasso (and others) painted, you’ll experience a “Coup de Coeur” (love at first sight!).

After a walk up one short flight of stairs, step into an oasis of light, serenity and comfort, Coeur de Montmartre (Heart of Montmartre), your home away from home.

There is a small entrance hall separating the bedroom, living room, bathroom and WC.

The LIVING ROOM has two big gorgeous windows to let light fill the room and give views across the rooftops of Paris, revealing a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and when the leaves have fallen from the trees perhaps even the Arc de Triomphe and Trocadero.

The open floor plan of the living room and kitchen means you can continue the conversation with your fellow guest(s) when you pop into the kitchen to pour a glass of wine (or champagne!) and you’ll even have a view of the top of Eiffel Tower – just to remind you that you’re in Paris, after all. The dining table seats four.

The living room sofa pulls out to a comfortable double sofa bed. The doors separating the living room from the bedroom and the entrance hall provide added privacy for anyone sleeping on the sofa.

The BEDROOM is spacious and serene with both curtains and venetian blinds to keep out the sunlight until you are ready to get up. There is a queen-size bed, which can be converted into two singles, depending on your needs. Reading lights on both sides of the bed mean you can switch off the light while your companion continues making plans for the next day’s adventures. You are by no means limited on storage space with the large bedroom closet. And when you want to catch up on e-mails, there is a Mac computer on the small writing desk by the window.

Both BATHROOM and WC were renovated in 2008. Luxuriate in a perfect bath in the evening, or enjoy a shower in the morning.

The apartment is bright with vibrant accents, wood floors, oriental rugs, and soft fabrics that add warmth and depth to the décor. Decorating the rooms are drawings of street scenes of Paris, vintage cover prints from “Le Petit Parisien” and other wonderful antiques.

Renew your spirit and rest your weary feet in the comfort and peace of Coeur de Montmarte knowing that you are living in what was and still remains the heart Paris’ artistic community.

Rue d’Orchampt , is at the heart of the officially designated historic district of Montmartre. Named after the patron saint of France, St. Denis (Montmartre means “Mountain of the Martyr”), this neighborhood is packed with history, and still retains its ancient and bohemian charms. A five-minute walk in any direction is alive with history and possibility. Discover the fantastic views of Paris from Sacre Coeur (made of a stone that cleans itself whenever it rains); the Bateau Lavoir – the birth place of Cubism - on place Émile Goudeau at the end of the street, where Picasso painted and spent his evenings with Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Modgliani and others; the church of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, which dates back to 1133; the place du Tertre, full of stalls and people wanting to paint your portrait, but surrounded by lovely quiet streets; the Moulin de la Galette, a windmill-turned-dancing-club that inspired Renoir’s Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette; and rue des Saules, where you’ll find the last remaining vineyard of Paris and the Lapin Agile where Picasso paid for lunch with a painting of Harlequin which was sold at auction in the 1980s for millions!

Fans of “Amelie,” much of which was filmed in this neighborhood, will of course recognize “Au Marché de la Butte” at 56 rue des Trois Frères, just beyond place Emile Goudeau. Walk through the quiet streets in Montmartre and soak up the almost village like atmosphere, and you’ll find wonderful cafes and restaurants, small jewelry and clothing boutiques, antique shops, galleries, florists, bakeries, food shops, and parks

At the end of the street, just below the place Emile Goudeau, is a very good bakery so fresh croissants for breakfast are just minutes away! A short walk down the hill takes you to rue des Abbesses and rue Lepic where there are excellent restaurants, bars, fresh food - there is a market every day, except Monday. There are wonderful bakeries, a fantastic cheese shops, and several very good delicatessens as well as everything else you could possibly want and more!

The closest metro is Abbesses (line 12) which is direct to the Bld Haussmann area – a main shopping area with Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores; the Madeleine and it’s flower market; the Place de la Concorde and the Tuileries Gardens – visit the Orangerie and enjoy Utrillo’s paintings of Montmartre; the Musée d’Orsay (M° Solférino). Two nearby bus routes - 80 and 95 - go either to the Champs Elysées and the Eiffel Tower, or to the Louvre and St Germain des Près
