We’re on our way today. Here’s where we’re staying this week:
Loft aménagé pour 4 personnes donnant sur la magnifique cour pavée d'un immeuble de 1869. L'appartement vient d'être entièrement rénové. Il est idéalement situé entre l'avenue des Champs-Elysées et la rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
Vous aurez à votre disposition :
Une cuisine intégralement équipée en électroménager (hotte, plaques à induction, four combiné micro-onde, réfrigérateur, congélateur, lave-vaisselle, lave-linge, sèche-linge).
Machine à café Nespresso, bouilloire, grille pain, ustensiles de cuisine
Un séjour avec TV grand écran, chaînes françaises et internationales, accès internet wifi illimité
Une chambres disposant d'un lit "king size" (180x200) et la possibilité également d'y installer un lit pour bébé sur demande, télévision.
Une autre chambre disposant de deux lits simples (90x200) qui peuvent se rapprocher si nécessaire.
Une salle de douche avec possibilité de diffuser de la musique en bluetooth. Un WC indépendant.
L'installation d'une climatisation n'a pas été utile. L'appartement reste naturellement frais grâce à l'isolation thermique des murs.
L' immeuble est très sécurisé, l'ambassade de Malte y est installée depuis de nombreuses années et il y a un concierge.
Il n'y a absolument aucun bruit dans l'appartement, c'est le calme absolu pour dormir. Le quartier est animé avec ses magasins ouverts tard le soir et ses nombreux restaurants.
Juste en face de l'immeuble se trouve le célèbre restaurant étoilé de Jean-Pierre Vigato, Apicius. Les sportifs pourront aller courir au parc Monceau situé à 10 minutes à pieds.
Il y a deux stations de métro juste à côté, Saint Philippe du Roule et Franklin D. Roosevelt. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour tout renseignement complémentaire.
“The city orbits around eight million centers of the universe and turns around the golden clock at the still point of this place. Lift up your eyes from the moving hive and you will see time circling under a vault of stars and know just when and where you are.” - Billy Collins, Grand Central

Opened in May 2019, the Memorial Glade that honors first responders who later got sick or died after inhaling toxins at the World Trade Center site. Six large battered stones appear to jut up and out of the plaza as if violently displaced, and convey strength and resistance.

“Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans… Actually, it's pronounced mill-e-wah-que which is Algonquin for the good land." - Alice Cooper, Wayne’s World
This year, during Doors Open Milwaukee, we stayed a bit off the beaten path since we hit most of the major attractions last year. See photos from last year in gallery below.
