We received a warm welcome on a rainy day. The apartment gave us a rare opportunity to stay in an historic space layered with history and many stories. The location is in the heart of the Marais and a short walk to the Seine and Ile St Louis and Place de Vosges. The window looks out into a courtyard where there once was a secret passage Musketeers used to escape to a nearby convent. If you are curious and have never stayed in an apartment built in the 16th century, and you are able to climb the wonderful staircase, this may be the perfect place for you. We loved it.
