Grand Lepic

The Grand Lepic apartment is situated in a classical Hausmannian residence which dates back to 1892. The building was once the residence of the dancers and performers of the world famous Moulin Rouge—which is located just down the street at Place Blanche.

This grand duplex is situated on the 2nd and 3rd floors and measures a stunning 160m2 (1722 ft2). It has 4 bedrooms, 3 spacious full bath & shower rooms and one separate WC.  4 separate apartments were combined and redesigned with the idea of creating a large, bright & beautiful duplex.

A large balcony runs the length of the apartment’s 1st floor (the building’s second floor), so you can soak in the ambiance of Montmartre—one of the most original neighborhoods of Paris. Enjoy your morning coffee and croissant from one of the many fabulous neighborhood boulangeries as you watch the passersby shopping at the various market vendors on rue Lepic or watch the sunset as you enjoy your glass of wine.

The apartment combines both modern comfort and a classic French style.

THE BEDROOMS

On the first floor there are two bedrooms—the master bedroom and a child’s room.

The master bedroom contains a queen-size bed, a large screen TV and a spacious walk-in closet.

The second bedroom on the apartment’s 1st floor is a charming child’s room with a custom-built “chateau-fort” bed fit for any little prince or princess. The bedroom also has a large folding “pouf” bed that transforms into an additional single bed for another child or even an adult.

Up one level there are 2 additional bedrooms—one with a queen-size futon bed and the other bedroom with its double-sized wrought-iron bed that would be appealing to any weary traveler. This adjustable bed is perfect for two people with different sleeping habits since you can lift the mattress up at the head or foot of the bed while your partner’s side remains flat if they so desire. Both bedrooms also have their own TVs.

Three of the four bedrooms are courtyard facing. Only the bedroom containing the wrought-iron bed faces the street, but you won’t have to worry about street noise since there are noise-blocking double-glazed windows throughout the entire apartment.

In total the apartment sleeps up to 10 people (maximum of 7-8 adults).

THE BATHROOMS

The luxurious residence has two full bathroom/shower-rooms and one shower room with a separate WC. On the main floor, one of the shower rooms offers both a normal shower or a true spa experience with the whirlpool shower and is located next to the master bedroom . A separate WC is located just next door to this shower room.

On the other side of the apartment on the same floor, you have a newly renovated full bathroom with a whirlpool tub and shower—just picture yourself soaking in style.

On the second floor you’ll find the last shower room, which is both spacious & modern.

KITCHEN

The large foodie-friendly kitchen, which is located on the main floor off the entry hall, is fully equipped and spacious enough to enjoy a quick breakfast. You will find:

DINING ROOM, LIVING ROOM & PARLOR

The main living area combines three living spaces—the dining room, a parlor & the main living room.

Enjoy reading in the elegant parlor over a cup of tea or coffee.

Plenty of seating space is available in the living room where you can watch cable TV (which provides a substantial list of multi-language channels), on a large screen or play on the Nintendo Wii–we’ve provided a few games.

Supporters of the Chateau de Versailles and lovers of the furnishings of the 18th and 19th century, the owner of the apartment chose several pieces of furniture that stand out in this space as a testament to his admiration—including a Louis XVI secretaire, a copy of furniture from the Wallace collection in London and a Louis XV dresser with ravishing ornate marquetry.

With all these classic touches the apartment remains inviting, calm, and discreet. Bright colors, beautiful artwork and original pieces of furniture both modern and classical, come together harmoniously.

AMENITIES

ABOUT THE AREA

With its bistros, brasseries, boulangeries (bakeries), sidewalk cafes and boutiques dotting the streets, Montmartre continues to attract Parisians and tourists alike. This beloved “quartier” was once the home of Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir & countless other great artist but now it is one of the most loved areas of Paris. At the rue Lepic market you will find all the gastronomic fare and quick eats that your heart desires. And what visit to Montmartre would be complete without a visit to Sacre Coeur—which is just minutes from the apartment. The village-like neighborhood is also the setting the many famous French movies—including Amelie which was shot right in front of the apartment. The famous Moulin Rouge is also located right down the street if you would like to check out an authentic French cancan.

APARTMENT LOCATION

The apartment is located in the heart of the rue Lepic market—just up the street from the famous Moulin Rouge. With a balcony overlooking the street you can observe daily Parisian life pass by.

Located in the southern part of the 18th district you remain quite close to the pulse of the city and can even walk through the 9th district to the south to get to the Opera, Gallery Lafayette and Printemps.

With great transportation by bus (lines 30, 54, 67, 80 & 95 are all within walking distance) or metro (lines 2 or 12), you are less than 20 minutes from most destinations.

One of Parisians most beloved districts and host to many TV and cinema productions, Montmartre is a delightful location from which to embark on your Paris adventure. Commerce abounds as well as great food options—be it from restaurants, snack stands, creperies, bars, cafes, designer dress shops and more.
