Romantic Montmartre holiday apartment to rent in Paris

Romantic Montmartre holiday apartment to rent in Paris

This 55-square-meter apartment has been revamped in May 2006 with the help of our good friend - Parisian artist, Bruno Pascal. The apartment sleeps 2-5 people. Although small spaces are the rule in large European capitals, this interior has unusual features for an apartment of this type, including natural light and ventilation. It can be rented together with the Luxury unit and the Feng-Shui unit in the same building at special combo-rates.

The eye-catcher is an original work of art called "Laudanum" by Lisa Holden in the Pre-Raphaelite style. The term itself originated in relation to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential group of mid 19th-century avante garde painters associated with Ruskin who had great effect upon British, American, and European art.

The artwork depicts a woman under influence of Laudanum - an opium-related drug used in the mid and late 19th century and popular then amongst Montmartre artists and prostitutes. The artwork suggests a strong feeling of peace and romance that we found typical for the over-all atmosphere in this apartment.

Lisa Holden is a British artist based in Amsterdam. She has exhibited in London, the United States and throughout Europe.

The address is Rue de Rochechouart, a very nice area just out of the tourist zone. To the North the street is cornered by the Avenue Trudaine - a beautiful avenue with flowers and trees all around and considered to be amongst the nicest and certainly calmest in the whole of Paris.
