There isn't an apartment in Paris more charming and cheerful...ask all who have had the pleasure of staying here."Le Provençal" studio is located on the quiet courtyard of a very charming 18th-century building in the heart of Le Marais. It is completely equipped in spite of its size! In fact, anyone who has ever had the pleasure of being a guest will tell you that it is missing NOTHING!

Complete with a king size bed that converts to twin beds when desired, a Siemens brand washer/dryer combination, espresso maker, microwave, toaster-oven, two-burner ceramic stove, refrigerator, high speed Internet with WiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player, stereo, and free(!) long distance phone service...not to mention plenty of soap, shampoo, body wash, tissues, toilet paper and all the other toiletries...this delightful and cozy studio makes a perfect Parisian home for one or two.

The studio has been crafted with loving hands by a local mosaic artist who created the mosaic-tiled kitchen and bathroom and special touches on the walls. The bright colors of Provence make it a continuously happy place to hang your hat after a long day visiting Paris.

The bath is equipped with both a rain shower head and hand-held shower, magnifying mirror, hair dryer and glass shelving to put all your personal belongings. There is ample storage space in a floor-to-ceiling closet equipped with a clothing hamper, marketing cart, step stool, three areas of hanging space for your clothing, four drawers and lots of shelving.

Located on the third floor (European, no elevator) up sweet carpeted wooden Marais stairs, facing southeast, this quiet studio gets a beautiful amount of sunlight through all three windows, decorated with colored shades and white linen drapes. When the windows are open, you'll be able to smell the fresh rosemary planted in the window boxes.

Le Marais and the Area Around Rue de Bretagne

With rue de Bretagne just next door, the apartment embraces the heart of the Marais and central Paris with all the typical French commerce you could ever wish for, including three boulangeries (bakeries), a number of boucheries (butchers), poissonneries (fish markets), epiceries (grocery stores), primeurs (fruit/vegetable shops), fleuristes (flower shops), bar/tabacs (tobacco shops), cafés and lots of excellent and charming restaurant, not to mention Paris' oldest covered market, Les Enfants Rouges, which dates back to 1615! In the last few years, designer boutiques and art galleries have sprung up like tulips. The district becomes more and more important to Paris' finest artisans. It is only minutes from the Musée Picasso, the Places des Vosges and a fifteen-minute walk to Saint-Paul, Hôtel de Ville and Notre Dame. Don't miss the Square du Temple, Le Carreau du Temple and the City Hall of the 3rd Arrondissement before reaching Place de la République. The location is great and with a large number of transportation lines, you're only minutes away from just about every part of the city.

This is my second stay here in Le Provençal, and it really has become a home, a nest. The place is one thing, and your kindness is the finishing touch! I plan to return next year, if at all possible. With kindest regards...

Johan B., Columbia, MO

We enjoyed our stay at your apartment. The area is full of good restaurants and one time was too short to test them all. At Chez Omar, we have had the chance to be in a Maroccan city within Paris! It could not have been better.

Tina and Eric, Munich

Fabulous location, so many choices, but not enough time. So glad we chose this little apartment instead of a hotel. Great place to spend Christmas!

Kim and Bob D., Australia

Fantastic location, but never long enough. We'll be back, maybe in the spring this time.

Gorza and Paul

The location is just lovely and the apartment is tiny but sweet. Everything you could wish for is there. The apartment is tiny but perfectly formed, it feels charming and intimate --100% perfect for the Marais! So great for galleries, restaurants, and browsing in gorgeous boutiques. Good bars, good food, good company. We will be back.

Matt and Garmaine, London

I really can't think of anything to change -- the only thing that Le Provencal lacked was a dish brush, and I bought one at Monoprix and left it! I enjoyed my stay at Le Provencal tremendously. I loved the fact that there were great shops (the fromagerie, the caviste, the wonderful covered market open every day) and restaurants just one minute from the front door. Although I was alone, I felt completely safe and secure in the neighborhood and in the apartment. Outside it was cold and rainy, but in the apartment it was warm and colorful!

Another exquisite week in this fantastic city and in the comfort and convenience of one of your great apartments. Until next time...

Alan H., Toronoto

It was so much fun to spend the week in the most charming studio! After reading your newsletter stories about its creation, it became my dream to stay here. What a quiet retreat from the Paris excitement. I just wish you had used those special mirrors that make you look thinner -- after eating French cuisine for a week...it would make us all feel more chic! Anyway, loved this place. Can't wait to return.

Susan S., Chicago

Thanks very much, Adrian. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the apartment. Your restaurant guide is great and we made friends at Le Machon. It could not have been better!

Didi and Dora Moxon, Seattle

We had a great time in Paris and a fabulous time a Le Provençal! We had a wonderful stay. This is a fabulous neighborhood with a lot of goodies. Can't wait to come back!

Winnie and Mike

The apartment was just great, very well equipped and charming. And the welcome we received was much appreciated.

Richard M., Medina, WA

I liked the apartment, and the entire experience, so much that I wrote about it: I have written about the apartment in a post on my blog: www.libbywilkiedesigns.com Look at "Details of Place" and "Apartment in Paris"!

Libby Wilkie

Just wanted to pass on that we had greatest time at apartment and thanks for being so easy to answer questions and well, just everything! We will definitely spread the word. Adrian, your choice of Caffé Soprano was the tops! We went twice -- it was so delicious.

Rob and David

It's official -- We will never stay in a hotel in Paris again!!! We loved our stay in Le Provencal! The apartment was wonderful and well stocked with all the necessities. I would suggest that you include in your information that things such as soaps, towels etc. are included in the apartment as we have rented places previously where we were required to bring/buy our own and it was a treat to arrive and know this was something we didn't have to think about. The location was perfect, the amenities were perfect, the experience from the first contact was perfect. We hope to see you again very soon and have told many of our friends about our wonderful week in Paris at Le Provencal.The Marais, the apartment, the restaurant recommendations, the marché, the park...all we wanted and more. You will see us again. Au revoir!

Chris and Carmen Grant, Vancouver, BC, CANADA

Jack and I loved staying in this charming little place. You have created a colorful retreat that was always a joy to return to. Our stay felt far too short!

Kay Kite, Edmonds, Virginia

I really enjoyed staying in your cheerful little apartment. So far Paris is fantastic and Le Marais area has a wonderful charm to it.

Paula Sharmer, Canada

We loved your place...Such fun. Thank you.

Renee & Jim McCooey

We had a lovely time in Paris, due mostly to being so comfortable at Le Provencal.

Clare and Drummond, New York

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely little apartment. It was so close to everything and every great tourist attraction. We loved the area and the orange theme simulated in this room. Than you for all your help and service.
