Luxe d'Aboukir

Property

Pass through a large iron gate on the street and a cobble-stone entry and ascend a centuries-old stairway (there is no elevator in this classic 18th century building) to the third floor, where you enter a spacious, light-and-air-filled apartment.

This apartment sits in the 2nd arrondissement, directly above les Halles, one minute from the rue Montorgueil, Paris’s most popular market street. Montorgueil is lined with many markets and Parisian food shops, fruiters, cheese stores, bakeries, butchers, fish mongers, flower sellers. Go and wander on Saturday and Sunday morning, have coffee with friends and watch the Parisians doing their food shopping, and then indulge yourself by bringing your fresh lettuce, baguettes, Camembert and Morbier, and a Chardonnay that caught your eye back to your own Paris apartment for a home-cooked dinner. Try out the lovely restaurants just minutes away, such as la Table Ronde and Frenchy's. The metro station is less than one block away, but you could spend a week in the Market Street Apartment and not use it once--the breathtaking Place des Victoires, for some seriously fabulous designer clothes shopping, is just a five-minute walk, and the Louvre is only about 10-15 minutes by foot from your home in Paris.
