Everyone in Paris gets picked up in front of Paris vacation apartments, better still request that Paris based 4 Roues Sous 1 Parapluie meet you at the Palais Garnier opera house. They shuttle you round Paris in a chauffeur-driven convertible 2CV. In the event of rain, take metro lines 7 and 9 (near many of our apartments in Paris) to arrive at Mirosmenil for the Musée Jacquemart André. The museums audio guide tells the story of how Nélie Jacquemart met banker Edouard André when she was painting his portrait. Otherwise refer to our Paris apartments guide for an abridged version. They married not far from a couple of our Paris apartment rentals and travelled the world collecting art, now stored in their very romantic ‘private museum’. After your visit museum, head back to our Paris apartments or treat yourselves to tea and cakes under a Tieopolo ceiling in the café. You could always opt for taking one back to our apartments in Paris.
Time for a drink. Take the bus from St Philippe du Roule station (near our Garnier Paris rentals) to the Arc de Triomphe. In Summer, take the lift to the 7th floor of the Hôtel Raphael to enjoy martinis with a view of the setting. Our Paris vacation apartments are only a short cab ride away. The showstopper is the vertical garden in the inner courtyard overflowing with hundreds of exotic plants and flowers.
