Why not renting a one bedroom apartment for you next trip to Paris

Whether you’re looking for a one bedroom short-term rental or for a one bedroom long term apartment rentals, you’ll find there are a dizzying amount of choices, from which neighborhood you’d like to live in to a range of options regarding the apartment itself.

How much natural light does it get? Does it face a street that quiet or noisy? Is the décor modern, traditional, or eclectic? Do you want to live in a neighborhood with a strong community spirit, or where the spirits run high?
Those in search of a lively nightlife can choose the dual nightlife meccas of the 11th, and would also do well to consider the Marais, one of Paris’ most exciting areas. The sheer number of cafés, pubs and restaurants here may well boggle the mind. Students from the nearby schools of the Latin Quarter fill the businesses here to overflowing with the din  of laughter and fun. But culture can be found here in droves, as well. The Pompidou is here, as well as what many consider to be Paris’ most beautiful square, the majestic Place des Vosges. This is also “medieval Paris,” “gay Paris,” and is home to Paris’ largest orthodox Jewish community. Every type of cuisine imaginable can be found here, along with family-friendly attractions.

The Latin Quarter and Saint Germain are located in the 5th and 6th, just across the Seine. These two districts are home to many of Paris’ best-known schools, such as the Sorbonne, and Paris’ literary tradition, which includes “expat” artists such as Hemingway and existential writers such as Sartre. Paris’ publishing houses are here, as well as famous bookstores like Shakespeare & Company. There are countless houses of quiet contemplation along the Left Bank of the Seine, from the glory of the Notre Dame Cathedral to the more modest American Church of Paris, where you’ll find a bulletin board where other Americans post items for sale, club invitations and more.

The Paris apartment rental one bedroom of your dreams may include artistic havens of the 20th century such as the artistic Montmartre in the north of Paris (once home to Dali, Picasso and Van Gogh), or its sister area on the Left Bank, Montparnasse. The Montparnasse is a fun mixture of the boho and the bourgeois (or “bo-bo” as it’s often called in French), combining a more moneyed artistic tradition with green space and long, contemplative walks by lovely cafés.
Speaking of lovely green areas, why not opt for an apartment in Paris along the Boulevard Saint Michel (often simply called the “Boul'Mich”), leading to Paris’ most royal park, the Jardin de Luxembourg? There are puppet shows here, people playing chess under the trees, a statue garden, and of course the Palais de Luxembourg, which houses the French Senate.

Those who want to be in Paris’ central commercial area, and as about as “central” as one can get, may want to opt for a one bedroom rental in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Here you’ll be literally steps away from the Louvre, Palais Royal, Cartier, Les Halles underground shopping area, and the Rue de Rivoli.
Lover of open-air markets have many choices. The Mouffetard near the Latin Quarter has daily markets, but the Bercy Village Market in the 12th is another wonderful choice. Lovers of gourmet food may wish to live near the “millionaire’s food store,” Fauchon in the Place de Madeleine near the Champs Élysées. Or why not live near the Galeries Lafayette in the Opera district, which has a whole floor devoted to gourmet food?
A one bedroom apartment in the 16th means maximum opulence and luxury, and you may just find a one-bedroom that suits you in or near this incredible area. From the most luxurious to the most modest, there is an incredible range of options to choose from.

No matter where you choose to live in Paris, you’ll love looking. Like Paris itself, the journey is more than the destination itself. Exploring is half the fun. We wish you a fun and rewarding quest, and we’ll see you soon in the City of Lights!
