St. Germain Jacob 2

The cachet of rue Jacob

The rue Jacob is…well…a bit more than just Jacob’s street. It is one of those streets where people go simply to stroll, or to have the world famous macaroons at Laduree, or to shop for antiques. In the very heart of the St. Germain des Pres district, the rue Jacob (classy, subtle, and somewhat smug in her refined ‘Old World’ manners) is a street that many people swear by. Although there are numerous streets in the immediate vicinity that can hold their own with respect to chic charm and desirability, the rue Jacob has no need to bow down to any of her sister streets. Jacob is the destination that many people desire.

On the ground floor off the inner courtyard of a 17th Century building, this large, one bedroom apartment has just been renovated and redecorated, with a new bathroom and kitchen, thus combining the best of ‘Vieux Paris’ with the comfort and convenience of modern amenities. The furniture is an elegant blend of period and modern. One of the main features of this stylish, white beamed apartment is the large atelier-style windows that open onto the plant-filled courtyard and garden. The private garden retreat is only accessible from this apartment and from the one next door, also available for rent with ILoveParisApartments.com (listed as the ST GERMAIN JACOB 1 and ST GERMAIN JACOB 2). Access to the garden courtyard is through the new French windows from the main living area.

The open designer kitchen is fully equipped with all new amenities (including a washing machine) and cooking utensils. The dining table can comfortably seat four people. The bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower (with multiple showerheads), and a heated towel-rack. Other amenities include a flat screen TV, a wireless internet connection, a landline, a CD/stereo player, and a hairdryer. The flat can sleep up to 4 by making use of the queen-size sofa-bed in the living room.

The ST GERMAIN JACOB 2 flat is a quiet place to withdraw from the world and relax, all the while being right where many people would love to be… here in the centre of art, fashion, food, and the famed frivolity that Paris is known for.

"... this time, I was going until 1 A.M., loading up my car with the following: 2 very large rectangular mirror frames, a lovely porcelain corner sink with its original faucet, an oak cabinet door, a small cheese cabinet door with its wooden grill, more carved marble mantle pieces, a large cast iron skillet, and bits and pieces of carved wood: from molding to cornices."
