Your perfect address in Paris!
La Place Dauphine – Your Family’s Address in Paris
It all begins with a perfect location and La Place Dauphine’s setting right on charming Place Dauphine couldn’t be better! Although located in the very center of Paris on the Île de la Cité, this quiet square with its cobblestone streets and pretty chestnut trees feels hidden away. We completely restored this historic building from the early 17th century to create six elegant apartments designed to make our guests feel right at home in the heart of Paris. The private building has a secure entrance and an elevator to reach each apartment – a must for a comfortable stay.
Inside you’ll find central air conditioning for those warmer summer days as well as extremely comfy beds and everything you need to truly settle in. Each apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen, which is such an added convenience compared to booking multiple hotel rooms. You’ll love the freedom of setting your own schedule and, above all, the incredible privacy and exclusive address on what is considered Paris’s prettiest square.

Let us introduce you to each one of the six vacation rentals in La Place Dauphine.

Here is where the city was founded, where French kings lived for centuries and where many key moments in the city’s history took place. Being right in the heart of Paris means that you are moments from top sights like Notre-Dame, the Louvre and Tuileries, the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the Left Bank and the stylish Palais-Royal, the Pompidou and the historic streets of the Marais on the Right Bank. All of Paris a short stroll away, or simply hop on a boat along the Seine for relaxed sightseeing or to explore more of the city.

You’ll likely hear the click of steel balls used in the traditional French game pétanque.
