Ready for the wow moment? Then, push the solid oak door to the lounge, and stay in awe as you discover this unique and spacious spot in Paris. More than 50 m2 (550 sq ft) flooded with the light from 6 tall period windows, one of which overlooks the Institut de France's Cupola. More than 3 meters high, the original, very rare, painted beams are telling you stories from more than 400 years ago. Under your feet, the period Versailles flooring. Every detail was generously sized with your comfort in mind: the sofa for 6 to 8, the big armchair, the tall Bösendorfer white upright piano, the big-screen TV connected to hidden speakers and subwoofer, with the Apple TV providing you free access to thousands of movies, to TV shows, to countless music tracks and to a thousand TV channels… The magic continues as you proceed to your bedrooms: your Suite is in the 3rd floor of the unforgettable staircase. The Master Bedroom provides a magnificent view to the Institut de France's Cupola, a lounge area with three Louis XV armchairs and a comfortable banquette around a round table made of raw wood, a corridor closet with a safe, and a beautiful bathroom featuring large mirrors and white marble, toilets with a handheld shower, heated towel rack and heated floor. In the smaller Bedroom, either for children or for another couple, marble and granite bathroom with an illuminated shower, spacious walk-in closet, and an illuminated private terrace with a giant jasmine, two chairs and a garden table for a moment of total peacefulness. Again there, a TV with Apple TV like in the main lounge. The temperature is ideal all year long in the bedrooms, thanks to an effective, quiet, central A/C — a feature rarely available in a building built in 1600 — and powerful heaters with thermostats you can adjust as you wish. In the patio, a period door opens to the building's laundry room, that you're welcome to use from 7pm to 12pm. You will find there the high-end Miele machines: washer with automatized detergent supply, dryer, and steam ironing system. Guest access The large table in the patio is shared with other Guests in the building. You can have a drink or a snack there at any time of the day or the night, on comfortable banquettes, in a spot enjoyable in every season: shady thus cooler in Summer, yet sheltered and equipped with IR heaters.
