A few words from the host

Enjoy the best of the "old" Paris in this apartment featuring old wooden beams with the best of modern amenities! Enjoy Paris like a Parisian! Located in the centre of ‘Montorgueil Village’ in the 2nd District, we are sure your will find our apartment chic, warm and comfortable. In the wide living room, with dining area, you will enjoy a flat screen TV as well as a desk with Apple computer and full access to internet and WIFI. In the bedroom, with king size bed, you will have a direct access to the bathroom with lovely mosaic tiling. The kitchen is also very well organised with fridge, oven, toaster, and a Nespresso Coffee machine. A second bed, queen size, is also available in the living room, where plenty of closet space will be available. Our well-secured apartment is located in a beautiful 16th-century building, on first floor with elevator, you will enjoy the view on a typical cobble-stone street.

The Montorgueil neighborhood is one of the best places to get an impression of the “old Paris”. The rue Montorgeuil is in fact Paris’s oldest market street. As ever, this delightful, cobble-stone street is lined with fruit/vegetable markets, famous restaurants, quaint cafés, bakeries (including La Maison Stohrer), cheese shops, wine shops, butchers, fishmongers.  You'll feel transported into another age as you listen to the merchants calling out you to inspect their fresh salmon, cuts of meat, or sweet fruits, like strawberries, three baskets for the price of two.  In this lovely, predominately pedestrian area of Paris right in the heart of the city, you will be at walking distance from the Louvre, Pompidou Centre, Notre Dame, as well as Le Marais & the Latin Quarter, les Champs Elysées… For Fashion addicts, there are plenty of places to go in the area, between Etienne Marcel street, Montmartre street , or Saint Honoré street, ‘le temple de la mode’ and the place Vendôme where you will recall your shopping in Paris for a very long time! .

Direct access on subway from all airports (Orly, Roissy Charles de Gaule), you will be close to multiple lines 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 14, plus RER A, B, D linking you to anywhere in the city in less than 30 min.

We can welcome you in English, Spanish, and Chinese.

Recommendations

We absolutely LOVED the apartment! The accomodations were so comfortable for the 3 of us and very nicely appointed. It was so centrally located - an amazing area to stay, restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and everything we could possibly need was within walking distance. We would highly recommend Diane's apartment to our friends and family and were very pleased with Paris-Sharing, they earned our trust!

This apartment is in a fantastic location in the 2nd arondissement in Paris. We walked to alot of the main attractions including The Louvre and The Champs Elysees. However if you prefer not to walk the metro is conveniently located up the street. The apartment is positioned in a little village like street with some lovely patisseries nearby.

The apartment also had a computer which helped to research places whilst you are there.

At night it can get a little noisy however this can be expected when you want to stay somewhere as convenient as this. In saying that the noise is not overbearing and is tolerable.

Diane our host for the apartment was very welcoming and willing to please. She was at the apartment when we arrived and went through what Paris has to offer and best ways to get there which was very helpful. She goes beyond her duty to help you in any way she can.

Overall the location, host and value were fantastic and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

This apartment is in a fantastic location. Many of the main attractions such as The Louvres, Champs Elysees and Notre Dame Cathedral are within walking distance and for those furter away, the nearest metro station is just a 5 minute walk away.

It is very clean and well presented and was big enough for the four of us. The computer was a bonus as we were able to research places to visit. Our host Diane was wonderfully friendly, helpful, informative and reliable. The coffee making facilites and the biscuits were a very nice touch!

There are many fantastic shops (baker,butcher,cheese shop) in the adjoining street that provide reasonabley priced local food. We had a fantastic holiday!!

"Chez Diane"!! Excellent location. First rate accommodations and amenities. Diane was most welcoming upon our arrival and provided excellent visitor resources. The quite spacious apartment sits above restaurants, and around the corner are the most interesting shops, bistros, bakeries, and meat and poultry shops with fresh cooked products available "to-go". We are in our sixties and this was our third trip over and would love to stay at "Chez Diane" again. - Tom & Kathryn

I would give the highest recommendation for this apartment. After spending 5 days in this apartment I will never stay in a hotel in Paris again. It's the best location with all you need close by. Restaurants, supermarket, butcher, bakery etc.. Rue Montorgueil is an oasis in the middle of Paris.

We had such a great time in Paris, staying at this really lovely apartment. The location was fabulous - street markets in the daytime, and lots of great places to eat at night. We were able to walk to most of the landmarks, and the metro station was nearby when we needed it.
Diane was so friendly and flexible and we really felt "at home" in the apartment. If we return to Paris we would make sure to stay there and will definitely recommend it to our friends.

Beaubourg - Les Halles

From a logistic standpoint, this is heart of Paris (or according to Zola, the stomach) : the place where all the railways cross, where masses of people flow in and out day and night. It was and is once again a place of gigantic urban planning and architectural experimentation. From their role as the central marketplace beginning some 800 years ago when Philippe August built the initial structure, Les Halles were transformed from the 1970's into a vast public space for leisure and shopping. The Pompidou Modern Art Center (Centre Pompidou or Beaubourg), once perceived as a monstrosity with its metal guts displayed on the outside, has become as popular a place to visit as the Eiffel tower. Today, the neighborhood is destined for yet another vast and futuristic project with work beginning in 2010. Until it is complete, the neighborhood will continue to fascinate with some of the city's oldest streets and most amazing stories. For example, Henri VI was assassinated at 11, rue de la Ferronnerie. The pictoresque rue Quincampoix marks the downfall of the Scottish banker, named Law, who did just a good a job of bringing on financial ruin as did Bernard Madoff.

Incidentally, for the purists, Beaubourg borders the 1st but is part of the 4th.
