Windows occupy an entire wall of this charming flat, providing glorious light and the Eiffel Tower silhouetted against a sweeping expanse of sky.

That sense of hovering in the clouds above the city and the apartment’s perfect location - a block from the Seine River and the Invalides; a stone’s throw from one of Paris' best outdoor markets, the Rue Cler; mere minutes from the Champs-Elysées and Saint Germain-des-Près, and just a quick jog to the Champ de Mars Park and the Eiffel Tower - make this apartment better than ideal.

Perched just under the roof of this lovely rococo building on the fifth floor - an elevator takes you to the fourth floor and then you climb a small staircase - this newly renovated apartment boasts clean, graphic lines. A perfect flat for a couple (the bedroom is equipped with a queen-size bed -- with a firm mattress), the L-shaped living/dining room has a couch which can open up to comfortably sleep two more people.

The bathroom has a spacious shower and a separate toilet. And gourmet cooks will find the contemporary, streamlined kitchen, which opens onto the living/dining area without actually being part of it, is fully equipped, with an oven, dishwasher , microwave, food processor, etc. There is also a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer.

The dining area's architect-designed oak table seats four, but unfolds to easily seat six to eight on chic wrought iron and bamboo chairs. When you don't feel like cooking, just step outside the door: some of Paris's finest eateries - from quaint corner cafés to homey bistros to Michelin-star-ranked restaurants - are all within walking distance. And for evenings just spent relaxing at home, the apartment is equipped with cable TV and a VCR which can "read" US, British, and European cassettes.

This pied-à-terre combines a great location with spectacular views, light, and charm, and also provides a wonderful feeling of calm and intimacy - right in the Heart of Paris's Left Bank. Closest metro stations are Pont de l'Alma and Invalides.
