Holiday Home Rental Description
Apartment Thea is an elegant one-bedroom, third-floor apartment in the exclusive Champs Elysée area, a short walk from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Close to gourmet dining and shopping, what more could you ask for? Not far away is the Rue Poncelet, where you can buy everything you need for a comfortable stay, from cheese, fresh produce, flowers, pâtisserie and much more.
On arrival at this 19th-century Hausmannian property, you will be met by your host and taken by elevator to your apartment. Be prepared to be awe-struck by its elegance and sophistication.
The apartment has been restored to the glory of bygone years, featuring original hardwood flooring, decorative mouldings and beautiful chandeliers. The entrance lobby has a wrought iron console table and leads to the kitchen. With sleek modern units and worktops, integrated appliances, and all of life’s home comforts, it is a perfect place to create gourmet meals using fresh local ingredients from one of the cookbooks supplied. A tall south-facing window overlooks the courtyard filling the space with plenty of sunshine. A range of Coffee, tea, sugar, oil, vinegar and a selection of cooking spices will be supplied upon request. You will find yourself in the living-dining area through a door to the right of the kitchen. Decorated in calming creams and greys, this exquisite room is bathed in light from the original tall shuttered window with views to the avenue and shops below. A high-quality double sofa bed takes pride in place, featuring crown moulding, wood panelling and an antique chandelier.
Perfect for two other guests. A wall-mounted flat-screen internet-enabled television features cable, digital radio, a DVD player and a library of movies.
To the right of the entrance lobby is the bedroom. Again, featuring wood panelling, it is decorated in traditional but subtle tones of grey. A large south-facing window overlooking the courtyard floods the room with sunshine.
There is a queen-sized bed, console dressing table and plenty of wardrobe space. The layout of this apartment would suit either a couple travelling alone or a group of four as the living area and a sofa bed can be closed off, giving privacy.
Off of the kitchen, you will find the bathroom complete with a large bathtub and shower over, vanity unit, heated towel rail and WC. There is also a washer/dryer installed.
On the border of the 8th and 17th Arrondissements, the Champs Elysées need no introduction! Famous for its shops and Michelin-starred restaurants, it hosts nearly 300,000 visitors daily—a beautiful picture postcard avenue. Nearly 2 km in length, it runs from Place de la Concorde to the stunning Arc de Triomphe. These two historic landmarks are like perfectly matched bookends. Here you can shop to your heart’s content. Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Guerlain and Tiffany can be found rubbing shoulders with more affordable brands like Zara, Sephora, and Nike.
Part of the famous Golden Triangle, the area is located between Avenue Montaigne, Avenue des Champs-Elysée and Avenue George V. With views of the Eiffel Tower at one end and the Arc de Triomphe at the other, Avenue Montaigne is the home of Haute Couture where for centuries designers and artists have set up shop. From the Golden Triangle, you will have the finest views of the legendary landmark, the Eiffel Tower, which is well within walking distance.
Foodies will find many delights to sample on a stroll along the Champs-Élysées. Laudurée, a restaurant and tea room, is known for mouth-watering macarons. Dining opportunities abound, from Michelin-starred restaurants to chic bistros and brasseries. When eating in Paris, the world is your oyster. Traditional French fare can be found at Le Fouquet, a classic Parisienne brasserie, or incredible haute cuisine at Alain Ducasse’s famous Plaza Athenée. Fancy something different? Why not journey into a Japanese French fusion at Marxito or watch your meal being prepared at Restaurant Pages?
Close by, Rue Poncelet is one of the city’s best open-air markets.
Here you will find fruit and vegetable stalls overflowing with the riches of the French countryside.
Glistening fish and shellfish, fromage, charcuterie, boulangerie, and patisseries abound. It’s a gastronomic adventure offering all the ingredients needed to create a magnificent French feast!
Many of Paris’ attractions are within walking distance, such as Place de la Concorde, Tuileries Gardens, the Louvre, The River Seine and Eiffel Tower. A stone’s throw away is from Metro Line 1, offering easy access to all the city’s significant landmarks, including Musee D’Orsay, Notre Dame and the vibrant Marais district.
