An 18th century Parisian mansion in the heart of the Latin Quarter, Maison de la Revolution is a city gem with its verdant garden and heated swimming pool, just a short stroll from Le Panthéon in Paris’ enchanting 5th arrondissement.
This is not just any Parisian holiday rental, it is an authentic family home which has been completely renovated in recent years. Elegantly furnished, the vast reception room and beautiful kitchen feature characterful French windows leading straight out to the garden whilst the TV lounge downstairs is sure to appeal with its Smart TV and Xbox. Across the top three floors, five inviting bedrooms sleep up to 10 guests including an impressive master king-size double that spans across the whole of the first floor with its own decked terrace. There's also a delightful garden annexe outside for an additional guest (and a courtyard bedroom available on request).
This is high-end living in the heart of Paris, yet what makes this historic maison especially unique is its heated swimming pool set in the delightful garden surrounded by trees – a true urban oasis. As you listen to the neighbourhood bells ring, dine al-fresco by the barbecue, no doubt enjoying some wonderful food picked up from the many gourmet shops on famous Rue Mouffetard, one of Paris’ oldest streets.
Be sure to stop off for a coffee on nearby Place de la Contrescarpe, one of Paris’ most charming squares and a much-loved spot in the Latin Quarter. Make the most of local restaurants and bars, soaking up the student vibe with the Sorbonne so near or take a stroll to Jardin du Luxembourg and perhaps the iconic cafes of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Experience the romance of Pont Neuf, get lost in Île de la Cité by Notre Dame and walk across to Le Marais with its historic lanes, trendy stores and exciting museums including the Pompidou Centre.
Amble or cycle along the Seine’s new promenade passing gardens, pétanque courts and playgrounds – from the Musée d'Orsay to the Eiffel Tower, this is a wonderful way to admire some of the classic sights of this magnificent city.
