Coco

Located in the heart of uber-chic Saint-Germain des Prés, this triplex apartment near the École des Beaux-Arts and the river offers a unique taste of one of Paris’s most historic neighborhoods with panoramic views over the city rooftops from a private terrace.

The apartment is furnished in a comfortable Art-Deco style and consists of a living/dining room, separate kitchen and WC on the entrance level.

There are 2 bedrooms, one on the lower floor with king bed and ensuite bathroom including a claw-foot tub (with shower over) and WC, and a dressing/laundry room with washer/dryer.
