The Tiquetonne street is a small street in the Chatelet-Les Halles and Montorgeuil pedestrian zone. House number 12 is less than 200 metres from the busy Montorgeuil street. The area has become one of the most exclusive and expensive areas of Paris, populated mainly by young professionals from the service and finance sectors. Residents include many people who have been disappointed by the Left Bank area and have moved over to the other side of the Seine. It is a very lively neighbourhood with many shops and restaurants. The nearest subway station is Etienne Marcel and the Les Halles and Rambuteau stations are only a short walk away. .Map of the neighborhood
Standing
A good quality building about 200 years old. The apartment is on the first floor and has an elevator. The living room looks out on to the street (pedestrian zone - quiet and no traffic) and the bedroom opens on to a small private courtyard (very quiet!). The bedrooms overlooks a private courtyard/terrace, it is also really quiet. All the windows of the apartment are double-gazed, so you won't hear the sound of the pedestrian street from the living-room.
Layout
A very nice apartment of 36 m2. It has a bedroom and large living room separated by sliding doors. The apartment was recently completely renovated with taste. It combines modernity with a fully equipped kitchen, oak floors and the original beamed ceilings. This apartment is a prime choice for 'pied a terre' or home base in Paris. The bedroom has a large double bed (with two independent mattresses for comfort). You will enjoy the exceptional quietness of this room as it has double-gazed windows and it overlooks the terrace. From the bedroom you have access to the small private terrace. The terrace does however not offer any views as it is surrounded by other buildings but you will love the calm of this private outdoor area. The bathroom has a tub with a shower. The kitchen is separate and fully furnished. To conclude, this apartment is in our opinion a great place to discover Paris and to spend a pleasant week.
