Welcome to Apartment Alvene
A 2 bedroom oasis in the 2eme
Apartment Alvene 2eme
Welcome to Apartment Alvene in Paris, a colourful and happy 2-bedroom private self-contained apartment in the absolute central heart of Paris.
The 2eme is known as the foodies paradise with the feature being Rue Montorgueil - the long cobblestoned pedestrian only strip of fresh food, markets, cafes and boutique gourmet shops. In fact this apartment is right off the bustling street on a quaint side street.
It is such a sought after location and one of my absolute favourites for living and visiting Paris.
You are walking distance by mere minutes to the major attractions of the right bank of Paris - Jardin Tuileries, the Louvre, Palais Royal, Opera Garnier, Place Concorde, Rue Saint Honore with its line up of luxury boutiques, Rue Rivoli and the Seine River.
However you are also near the more recently trendy areas too around Sentier where some of the trendiest new coffee shops and bars have started to pop up so its a perfect mix of old and new world Paris.
This means that at your doorstep you are inevitable spoilt with bars, brasseries, patisseries, cafes, bistrots, parks, secret gardens and passages, shops, museums, markets - absolutely everything you dream of experiencing in the city.

Alvene’s apartment is beautifully cared for and presented to you with a mix of modern and antique style.
Alvene has picked up the furniture and odd pieces from the antique shops and off the streets of Paris to give this apartment the perfect holiday feel of new, with a touch of old world traditional Paris. He is quite the Antique lover and knows all the best vintage flea markets for you to visit in the city.
Located on the 4th floor of a traditional haussmann building (no lift though Alvene will always greet his guests at arrival and assist with bags) it is extremely spacious by Parisian standards with many windows, light and flowing energy.

When Alvene is not in this apartment he offers it to fellow Aussie or international guests.
Alvene is a wonderful host, who aligns with Petite Paris ethos of making connections with guests.
For Alvene (and Petite Paris) it is not just about offering travellers an empty apartment, Alvene is also is a friend, who will welcome you upon arrival, show you all the bits-and-bobs of the home, spend time with you sharing his city tips, as well as helping you to plan you Paris days from the apartment.
He loves to connect with guests in a deeper way, getting to know them and promising them the utmost quality hospitality and care.
Alvene offers bike riding tours around Paris too, another way for him to get to know his guests and vice-versa for guests to get to know Alvene, as well as the city, and hopefully make this their ‘forever’ home in Paris.
