Paris apartments: Paris fractional ownership

Paris is such a surprising city. It doesn't seem to follow patterns seen anywhere else in the world. This past year while the news was constantly reminding us of the poor state of the economy, you would have been hard pressed to see any signs of this in the City of Light. Restaurants, cafes, stores and museums were all more alive than ever before. This goes for Real estate here too. The desirability of owning a Paris apartment has turned the Paris Flat into a pretty stable place to invest some money. With interest rates as low as they are today, this has created more incentives to purchase a Paris apartment for many who have wanted to do so and finally decided to go ahead with their dream plans..

Paris Fractional ownership is the easiest way to go about making a first purchase in Paris. The amount of money required is far less than buying the property as full time owner outright and the worries involved with day to day management are minimal since our management team takes care of everything for you. We are proposing ideally located Paris apartments on the Ile de la Cite and in the Marais and shares are already being sold so please have a look here if you are interested..

Rentals in Paris Winter specials

November is always a great month to come to Paris. There are many fewer tourists in the heart of the City of Light in November and December each year, however there are many events and special opportunities that only occur in these months each year. We just had the great Beaujolais Nouveau evening which was a big success this year. In addition the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay and the Palais du Luxembourg are all offering new expositions that have all begun this past week.

We are happy to offer discounts to our guests during these months which are considered off season, to help you make the most of your stay at very reasonable prices.

From Colorado to Paris: Maribeth Clemente

Would you like to 'Live like a Parisian for a period of time' as discussed by Maribeth Clemente in her recent article published in Bonjour Colorodo . This well known travel writer honored Rentals in Paris LLC with a very informative article highlighting the advantages of selecting one of our beautiful Paris apartment rentals.

Glenn Cooper notes that it makes sense from the point of view of your wallet, which will be happy to see you've chosen the Paris apartment rental option instead of a costly Paris hotel. These days, hotels are so costly that beautiful apartments are a big bargain by comparison. They are also much more spacious and comfortable and include many amenities that don't exist in hotels or are charged extra (i.e. WiFi, telephone service).

The article then describes the wonderful feeling for Paris apartment renters to really have that experience to live like a local in the City of Light. Nothing beats going to a local Parisian market and picking out ingrediants you'll need to make a wonderful Parisian dinner at home during your stay here. You'll see Paris through a brand new perspective once you've done this.

Glenn does mention that for apartments are not the perfect fit for everybody. Those who need to have their hands held and like the comfort of having a 24 hour concierge may still prefer to pay the extra cost and stay in a hotel for this reason. However, rental agencies such as Rentals in Paris have office assistants who can assist you with most of your questions so this is less of an issue today than it might have been years ago when renting Paris apartments. The key is to ensure that you rent with a company that has physical presence in Paris; not an agency that mails you the keys with instructions to show yourself into your Paris apartment when you arrive. This is a no-no and should be avoided at all costs for obvious reasons.

Left bank or right bank? That remains the main question you should focus your attention on when choosing your Paris apartment rental. All neighborhoods have cafes, restaurants, metros, busses, stores, etc. but they have different characteristics and appeal to different types of people. A little internet research should help you to make the perfect decision before choosing your next Paris rental...

Each year France comes to London for one glorious weekend of all things French and wonderful. This exposition is called The France Show. Hundreds of French companies including Real Estate, wine and cheese producers, general tourism firms and people promoting all aspects of French life and culture attend this world famous venue.

Last week Rentals in Paris (www.rentals-paris.com) crossed the channel to visit our Northern neighbors and to share our Paris rental expertise with the participants. The venue went on for three days, January 9th-11th at London’s Earl’s Court. The France Show received an enthusiastic crowd of over 25,000 who enjoyed delights such as a traditional French market, petanque court, caricature artists, live accordion players, wine tasting seminars and a wide range of French property agents to discuss finding a dream home.

Of course, Rentals in Paris was there to fulfill everyone’s holiday dreams of visiting Paris in style and luxury by staying in a beautiful flat in the heart of the city.

Paris apartment rentals still going strong

I have just read the article commenting on the slowdown of the French Tourism industry and it was very striking. However, as the owner of Rentals in Paris LLC (www.rentals-paris.com) and 17 year resident of Paris, I can assure you that there are still hoards of tourists coming into the city each day, even now in November, which is historically a very quiet month for us.

I receive many requests from potential guests looking to come for shorter stays (4 or 5 nights, instead of a week) but they are still comming. This weekend Paris was PACKED with tourists from all countries around the world. Many new Asian and Russian influences, as well as a variety of middle, Eastern Europeans, as well as Americans, Canadians, Australians which have always been big fans of this beautiful city.

It can't hurt to ask for discounts in the calmer months, and at Rentals in Paris, we always do our best to offer them when he have availability in the slower seasons.... For people who love Paris or dream of coming here for the first time, it is definitely a great time to enjoy the City of Light.

Great Paris Restaurant: L'Epi d'Or

Restaurant in Paris: L'Epi d'Or By Glenn Cooper - Rentals in Paris April 2008

Today it is getting harder and harder to find a good old fashioned Paris brasserie in the heart of the City of Light. True Francophiles who come to Paris looking to partake in those wonderful truly French dining pleasures have their work set out for them these days.

Luckily one of Paris' wonderful dining experiences is still there after 68 years and going strong at the Epi D'Or, conveniently located in the Palais Royal neighborhood around the corner from the Louvre and Les Halles.

L'Epi d'Or's owner since 1986, Pascaline is there every night catering to her clients, who range from many 'habitues' who eat here several times a week to a variety of newcomers whose smiles immediately illustrate their pleasure as the food makes it to their palates.

Pascaline offers a variety of meat and fish dishes including her famous Gigot de 7 heures (7 hour roasted lamb). There's also daily fresh fish, Fois Gras, an excellent selection of fresh vegetables and deserts that will make your mouth water.

One of her specialties is a Gratin de Fruits Rouges (a mixture of red berries, covered in a light cream and lightly baked which is my personal favorite. EVERY item on the menu is selected personally by her own hands as she does the food markets daily.

As she learned from her grandmother, a Cordon Bleu chef, who ran the business before her, "The key to offering clients a perfect meal is to master everything going into their plates."
These old fashioned values which make this establishment one of Paris' finest, are quickly noted by anybody having the pleasure to dine at l'Epi d'Or.
