Paris Apartment 1 Bedroom Vacation Rental in Montmartre (PA-684)

Wine and champagne may flow freely in Paris but the city isn’t exactly known as a winery destination. Yet the City of Lights is actually home to several active vineyards, especially along the slopes of Montmartre. Every October, the 18th arrondissement plays hosts the Fete de Vendanges, or the Grape Harvest Festival. The joyous event brings the age-old tradition of the wine harvest to the city, attracting 350,000 Bacchus lovers annually.

This year, the five-day celebration will be held from October 7–11, taking over the bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre with exhibitions, free winery tours and tastings, a village market and a Grand Parade with fireworks. More than 120 artisanal stands will pop up around the Sacré-Coeur Basilica atop the Butte de Montmartre – the highest point in Paris – which means delectable food and local cuvées with an incredible view.

Several exhibits will open on September 22 in anticipation of the festival, including the Exposition of the Grand Parade of the Feast of the Harvest, a collection of black and white photographs of the charmingly odd parade by Anne Boudard. You an also catch exhibits on The History of the Cabarets of Montmartre and 50 Years of Song with Jacques Canetti, this year’s honoree. Check out the full calendar of events here. http://www.fetedesvendangesdemontmartre.com/.

Montmartre is often spoken of as if it is a sprawling village stretching across the northern tip of Paris. Yes, it has an unmistakable village atmosphere, but sprawling it is not. The hill-top neighborhood is quaint in character and in size. Accommodations on the top of Montmartre’s butte are rare and are prime real estate in this city. Nowhere else in Paris are sweeping views as commonplace as here and no place else in Paris has Montmartre’s distinctive feel. With New York Habitat’s accommodations, visitors to Paris’ most famous hill can spend their days, nights, weeks and months enjoying the same views and side streets that have, and still do, inspire generations of artists.

Paris Accommodation: Studio Accommodation in Montmarte Sacre Coeur (PA-3596)

This studio accommodation in Montmartre-Sacre Coeur (PA-3596) is on the very top of Montmartre’s famous butte. Its neighbors include a Salvador Dali museum, an open-air art market, the bleached-white spires of the Sacre Couer Basilica and the charming (as charming as burial grounds get) St. Vincent’s cemetery.

Like the neighborhood it calls home, this studio apartment is full of quirks and surprises. First off, the flat is about as roomy as Paris studios get. The apartment is equipped with an eat-in kitchen, large bathtub, entrance foyer, washing machine and plenty of natural light. The living/bedroom has the right mix of color and a few interesting design pieces, including the white bookshelf and rug. The kitchen and bathroom have modern appliances and detailed tile work.

The colors throughout the flat make for a bright, warm space. While rue Cortot is tucked away from most of Montmartre’s traffic, claustrophobics should be forewarned, the quarter’s streets are small and packed with camera-toting tourists.

Why is this studio apartment in Montmartre a Hidden Gem?

Paris Accommodation: Studio in Montmartre Sacre Coeur (PA-3596)

This studio sits atop Paris in one of her most historic and unique settings. Need we say more? Probably not, but we will anyway. This accommodation’s eat-in kitchen, stylish decor and romantic location are perfect for globe-trotting couples. Not only does this apartment literally sit atop the city, but the sweeping Paris views from the kitchen and living room remind you of it each time you gaze out the windows.

At the center of Paris’ bohemian and art history is the Montmartre quarter. While the famous butte’s artistic heyday was at the end of the nineteenth century, the bohemian appeal of the quarter remains. The Montmartre-Sacre Coeur area, in the 18th arrondissement, is still the home to winding village streets, spectacular views and this charming one-bedroom accommodation on the Rue Saint Eleuthere (PA-3463).

Paris Accommodation: One bedroom rental in Montmarte - Sacre Coeur (PA-3463)

Renters looking to capture the spirit of the quarter in their Paris rental accommodation need look no further than this one-bedroom apartment. While not huge in size, this flat is enormous on personality. Tastefully decorated with a quirky tinge might be the best way to describe the decor in the apartment. An oversized clock looms over the dining area while Warholian paintings grace the walls of the living room.

The color-scheme is warm, bright and accentuated by bold dashes of red and orange here and there. Beautiful hardwood floors gather light from the accommodation’s large windows all day long. Said windows look out onto a small courtyard and virtually all of Paris. Renters can spot the Tour Montparnasse during the day and watch as the Eiffel Tower shines at night. The metro station Abesses is short walking distance from the apartment.

Montmartre and the area surrounding the Sacre Coeur Basilica has become a huge tourist destination, and for good reason. The village atmosphere has never left the area and the views from atop the butte are among the best in Paris. There are countless shops and galleries worth visiting on and around Paris’ most famous hill, including a wonderful fruit and vegetable market on Rue Lepic. Another worthy accommodation in the quarter is this one bedroom on Rue Androuet (PA-2305).

Culture. Beauty. History. Nightlife. The Montmartre district possesses all of the qualities that have so easily become associated with the city of Paris.

Yet, while Paris continues to develop as one of the world’s leaders, Montmartre remains, as many have called it, “the last village in the big city of Paris.”

New York Habitat has made it easy and affordable to plan a romantic Paris getaway. Gain inspiration from this Studio Apartment in Montmartre - Sacre Cœur (PA-3302).

Studio with Spacious Terrace in Montmartre:

This smartly decorated studio apartment features a terrace secluded from the eyes of neighbors and with a great view of the area. The apartment is located on the sixth floor and is accessible via elevator.

The studio itself is 535 square feet and an optimal location for a sweet, romantic getaway. The living/dining room leads to two French doors that open to a spacious terrace. The terrace boasts a BBQ, a dining table with chairs, and a heated Jacuzzi. Imagine yourself and a friend enjoying a glass of wine (or two) in the Jacuzzi as the two of you gaze across at the picturesque view of the Sacré-Cœur.

The building has private parking, if you decide to rent a car. However, there is also the Pigalle metro station (lines 2 and 12) for convenient travel into Paris.
 
Montmartre:

In the north of Paris within the 18th Arrondissement stands a hill overlooking what some call the last remaining village of the city. Montmartre translates to “mountain of the martyr” and received this name after the death of Saint Denis, patron saint of France, atop the hill in 250 AD.

Standing on that site today is the Sacré-Cœur, a Catholic basilica most well known for its white dome that overlooks the city. There is also the Saint Pierre de Montmartre, an older church on the same hill and is allegedly the birthplace of the Jesuit order of priests.

Montmartre has developed, over the ages, to become a popular drinking location. This may, in part, be due to the local nuns who were producers of wine. In fact, the only remaining vineyard in all of Paris stands in Montmartre. Every year, a famous festival to honor this vineyard and the grape harvest is held in October, all profits of which go to local charities.

Montmartre is also famous for its cabarets. The Moulin Rouge and the Le Chat Noir have featured many up and coming artists, singers, and performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Moulin Rouge still remains a popular attraction for travelers looking to be part of a culturally important piece of Paris.

Over time, Montmartre has increasingly become more cosmopolitan and in more demand by local inhabitants. Today, the region is split between the bustling metropolitan of new and the more artsy, bohemian lifestyle of old. Paris in Song - “Paris – Picture Perfect” discusses Parisian culture, in addition to attractions of interest within the city.
