Picpus holiday rentals

Great stay, neat property that served our needs. Clean and tidy, well equiped kitchen. Host provided icecreams due to the hot weather. No air con, but plenty of fans and an evaporative cooler. Be prepared for the steps, as property is on the fourth floor.

This was the perfect place to spend 10 days in Paris - a lovely comfortable apartment overlooking the Eiffel Tower, a vibrant neighbourhood full of cafes, markets and restaurants but a quiet apartment. We explored Paris but loved the time just wandering the area, shopping with the locals then relaxing on the balcony with a wine and dinner, watching the tower twinkle (could even see it twinkle while lying in bed!)

If you’ve seen the monuments and visited the museums try staying in a real Paris neighbourhood in an updated late 19th century apartment. Buy your fresh bread daily from the local boulangerie. Shop for fresh fruits and vegetables at the farmers market just two blocks away. Dine at the many local restaurants and wine bars. Catch the 1, 8 or 14 metro lines or RER trains, all within short walking distance, to just about anywhere in Paris and beyond. Experience Paris more like a Parisian than a Tourist.
