A home in the magical Montmartre 18eme.

Welcome to Apartment Souhila

Welcome to Souhila’s home in Paris. This is where you come to stay to feel and BE an everyday local Parisian. This traditional and classic family home is presented to you, as a friendly everyday living space with out the modern day frills, but even better, with all the regular charm of a classic Parisian apartment with wooden floor boards, classic mouldings, touches of traditional french decor throughout, a true everyday apartment, and a perfectly petit and classic Parisian large balcon that runs along the entire length of the apartment, with doors opening on it from both the bedroom and the lounge/living room, to sip your morning coffees at.

When I stayed here at Souhilas’ home it was honestly a sigh of relief, a welcome suprise and more than I expected at the same time. The mbience and atmosphere is PERFECT and after months of travel it was the perfect place to settle into and feel truly at home and at ease. I dont think I left the apartment for 2 days except to get local goods and wine (the essentials) as I literally was SO happy to just frolick to-and-fro around the home, laze around the balcon with tea coffee or wine, sometimes all at once, and on the lounge or just sat starting happily out the 2 large balcony windows, enjoying the utter peacefulness, the light and the quintessential Paris apartment feel. Something about having such large windows and the balcon as an outdoor space, made it safe to just relish in solitude and a perfectly Parisian homebody life. BUT there is SO much at your door. All of Montmartre. The romantic artists cobble stone winding hilly village.

Location details

the true artists village of Paris

The 18th arrondissement is a true Parisian village experience. It is the home to the last standing vineyard and windmill in Paris, and is a gorgeous labyrinth of cobblestone cozy nooks and crannies, hidden gardens and beautiful mansions to admire, as well as cafes, bars, brasseries, boutiques, art shops and galleries and more. It is known as the artist’s village of Paris as all the artistic greats were drawn to the beauty of the areas and lived there at one point in their careers, Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso, Pissarro and more. It's also home to the Moulin Rouge, Lapin Agile (one of the oldest caberets in the city) and it is an easy downhill walk to the centre of Paris passing Opera Garnier, Galleries Lafayette. Each October the Fetes des Vendanges - the Harvest Festival, a very unique wine festival is held over 5 days to honour the new vintage of the vineyards on the hill with music, workshops, tastings, a flea market, bands, parades, fireworks and much more including a quirky Cérémony des Non-Demandés en Mariage – an eccentric ritual that involves not getting married to your partner. This is followed by the open-air Bal des Non-Mariés at Place des Abbesses, where singletons celebrate not being married.

However she remains nearby and will be on hand anytime you need here as friend in Paris and someone to offer you tips and advice if you wish. You will notice in the photographs the balcony has many plants to enjoy. In the springtime, Souhila, your host will be visiting the apartment every 2-3 days to water the plants while you are out, to maintain them, we ask that guests are happy with this arrangement before booking this apartment. It will be a lovely opportunity to chat with Souhila your host if you are home, getting some local tips and advice or to simply practice your French.

Your host Souhila is born and raised in Paris. She is an International Educational Programs consultant and travels frequently for her work. For this reason thgere may be occassions where she is away from Paris while you are in the apartment. In this case a colleague will be on hand to assist you, as will I, Regina.
