Here is the church of St. Augustin, the focal point of your Paris apartment in the 8ème Arrondisement. St. Augustin church was the first church in Paris to use a metal structure covered with stone. It was built between 1860 to 1871 from plans drawn by Victor-Louis Baltard. Many styles are used in this building namely Roman, Gothic, Byzantine and Renaissance. The 8ème is a wonderful residential neighborhood, loaded with restaurants, bakeries, museums and the wonderful and romantic Parc Monceau. When you stay in our air-conditioned Paris apartment, you will be in a safe and secure area. |

The Parc de Monceau is one of the most elegant parks in Paris and is located within an easy walk from the apartment. The park, which features carefully manicured gardens, paths, small ponds and streams, and lots of sculptures, is hugely popular with young parents (and their small children), affluent joggers (they like the path that circles the park) and newlyweds having their pictures taken. The largest health club in Paris (5 floors of exercise activities) is 6 blocks from the apartment. |
