Haunted Mansions, Sleeping Beauty Castle and Swan Lake

Bonjour Parismarais readers,

September in Le Marais is a very busy month with many trade shows, fashion shows, the Maison et Objet international deco trade Show…. It’s also the busiest and one of the most popular months of the year for the tourist industry. Every day our partner hotels receive requests from visitors hoping to get discounts in September and requesting cheap prices, thinking that this month is the beginning of the low season, but this is not the case! Super high season in Paris is starting now. We can never say it enough: if you want to have low cost for luxury, come in August, or wait until November or January.

Fortunately, Parismarais.com will always try to find you the best places to stay for the best deals, so you can get a hotel room in Paris in September, or alternatively a lovely studio in a 17Th century Mansion, stilll at reasonable prices.

Do not miss the annual "Journées du Patrimoine", when the whole country takes a peek inside the sites and monuments that only the privileged normally get to see. September 19 th and 20th will be your opportunity to visit the Marais' most impressive mansions, some with ghosts, some with strange feelings… Of the long list found at the official site, http://www.journeesdupatrimoine.culture.fr, our favorites are the Musée Carnavalet, the Hôtel de Ville, the Hôtel de Sully and the Hôtel de Sens, as well as Hôtel Donon, the museum of the 18th century where you can actually see one of Marie Antoinette’s beds. There are nearly 50 sites to discover in the two arrondissements of the Marais, district 3 and 4. Of Course the events will also happen everywhere in France and in most European countries.

We hope you will embrace the French heritage, in Paris, or anywhere in France.

When I was a child I lived in Annecy, the medieval town that has the purest lake in the Alps and could really be called the Swan Lake … I took a week vacation there to rediscover the area and was amazed by so many beauties… Here's my favorite addresses to enjoy the «Saint Tropez of The Alps».

APARTMENT RENTALS IN PARIS

Looking for somewhere unique to stay for your next holiday? Parismarais selects only the best apartments in each category. You can rest assured that when you rent a flat with the owners and companies we select, you’ll be welcomed like a friend, benefit from great service and enjoy exceptional accommodations.

Tips about rentals:  You can trust the owners or agencies that are based in France and have representatives here. Many companies based abroad offer you rentals without respecting the French laws and without offering you any insurance. Every week we receive complaints by deceived customers who have encountered such agencies based in the USA or fiscal paradises like Caiman or Belize  just to avoid french regulations. To be sure they are legitimate a good question to ask the agency is if they are members of the Paris Tourist Office or Maison de La France. If they are, it means they are legally based here and provide all guarantees that the apartment and company do exist, and that in case of any problem, you’ll have someone reliable to assist you, like in any good hotel. As in Rome you do like the romans, to rent in Paris, rent with the parisians and avoid the crooks !
