The Area

This one bedroom flat is located just around the corner from 'Café des Deux Moulins', made famous in the 'The Fabulous Life of Amélie Poulain' or 'Amelie of Montmartre' film. Rue Lepic is a very well known market street. Although you may think that means the street is busy, rue Cauchois, a small one way street, could not be more peaceful or quiet. The area is such a wonderful mix of 'bohemian' and 'bourgeois' that you will want to spend your entire vacation within minutes of the apartment. Should you need to access the internet while on vacation 'Café des Deux Moulins' has free wireless access.

When you walk into the apartment, you arrive in a small entryway with the kitchen immediately to your left and living room directly in front of you.

This compact flat utilises space to the maximum so not a centimetre of this 28 square metre apartment is wasted.

The kitchen was design with an open concept or 'cuisine americaine', as the French call it, which makes it very inviting and pleasant to cook in.

You will probably find yourself pulling up a chair to sit at the counter-bar which serves as a dining space for up to four people.

All of the amenities you need to have a lovely meal at home are provided for and there is a combination washing machine with dryer in this area as well.

The ornate tile decoration on the backsplash is just one of the features that give this apartment a contemporary feeling amid a neighbourhood with old world charm.

The salon is furnished with a comfortable sofa which opens to a full sized double bed if you should need to use it.

The most unique feature of this apartment is the wall of windows in the salon. To provide the maximum feeling of space, six large windows were used to make a separation between the salon and the bedroom.

This gives the apartment a wonderful, luminous feeling as light shines in from all around.

Access to the bedroom is just off of the living room and kitchen area.

There are horizontal blinds on the windows that face the living area to provide complete privacy should someone be sleeping on the sofa bed.

Just beside the doorway in the bedroom is a large closet for storage of your personal belongings.

The owners have another small window above the closet space to provide natural light to the bathroom area.

The beautifully tiled bathroom has a shower, sink and WC. There is plenty of space to put your toiletries in this room.

For your convenience, there is a towel warmer to take the chill out of the bathroom on a rainy day in Paris.

Although small in size, this apartment is big on features and every possible thing has been thought of to provide you with an enjoyable stay in Paris and the world of 'Amelie'!
