Rue St. Guillaume location:
One way street between rue de Grenelle and Blvd. St. Germain. The Church St. Germain des Prés is a 5 min. walk, with the famous cafés of Les Deux Magots, La Flore, Brasserie Lipp, and some of the most exclusive boutiques in Paris. A great people watching paradise. The river Seine and Le Pont des Arts are a 10 min. walk with all the cafés, restaurants, street markets, and art galleries along the way. The Louvre is just over this foot bridge. The Luxembourg Gardens and Place Saint Sulpice are less than 12 mins. on foot.
Rue St. Guillaume comfort:
Size is a luxury because you have so much space so that people are not on top of each other. The apartment is extremely quiet and light because the ceilings are so high and the windows are so big. There is a wonderful cleaning lady who comes 2 hours twice a week. Bedding is changed once a week and towels regularly. The owners are very close by to help you if needed.
Rue St. Guillaume shopping:
Easy as there are 2 excellent large food stores open until late; Monoprix on the corner of rue de Rennes and Blvd. St. Germain across the street from the church. The Bon Marché which is Paris's most exciting food store is on the corner of rue de Sevres and blvd. Raspail, a 10 min. walk. There is a food trolley in the laundry room you can borrow. Both stores also deliver. There are also weekly open air street markets on Blvd. Raspail, and the famous Bio market on Sundays. Rue de Buci and rue de Seine are street markets open all week.
