Welcome to our charming Apartment as your own special pied a terre in Paris!!
COUR DAMOYE
The apartment is located in one of the most special and private places in Paris. Even many native Parisians admit they don't know about it. La Cour was built in the 1700's as part of the old Bastille fortress; it was originally the barracks where the King's archers lived. Now it is a quiet residential haven with art galleries and an historic Coffee Roaster. It is a historically preserved passage, and no cars or vehicles are allowed. Two gates at either end close at 7:00 pm, and only residents -- and you -- will have keys to get in and out. This means you will never be wakened by trash trucks or motorcyles! It truly is like stepping back into Old Paris. It's a very special place and our dream come true.
