This is a lovely apartment in a very old building full of character. From the moment we entered the building and saw the entry with the spiraling staircase and old world character we knew we were going to enjoy our stay. The location is very good. Directly across the Rue de Rivoli is the Jardin des Tuileries and metro subway station. The Luevre is just a few blocks away as well as the Champs Elyeeses. The Musee d'Orsay is just through the Jardin des Tuileries and across the Seine river bridge. The Musée de l'Orangerie which has the famed "Water Lilies" from Claude Monet is right in the Jardin des Tuileries on the west end of the park. Simply a great location for all these attractions as well as all the high end shopping retailers within blocks!
