Paris Perfect Apartment for Sale
 

I just clicked on the Paris Perfect blog and discovered that they are putting one of their apartments up for sale! I hesitated to post here because I was thinking that if I sold everything I own and rob a bank, I could swing the price of the apartment and I didn't want one of you to buy it out from under me. Alas, I am going to have to pass this time, so the apartment is yours for the taking! So start digging through the couch cushions and see what you can come up with! I believe they are asking just over a half a million euros, furnished.

That's only $687,00. Had better grab it while the Euro is still low! Happy Travels!

I Wish!!!!

I wonder why it's for sale?

Maybe if we pool our euros. . .

I'll start that off with a 50 euro bill!

I'm in for 50 euros. Dibbs on the first week in June.

I came back from my recent trip with 230 Euros, so my share will be slightly bigger than some ;-) So I should get 2 weeks/year!

If it's on Ile St Louis, I'll buy it. But where will I get the $$? Sell a couple of organs? Win the lottery? Rob the credit union and go on the lam?

The big thing now is to buy a share of an apartment. So you think if 365 of us got together we could each have the apartment for our vacation for one day each?

It's not that impossible to imagine...figure a price of 575,000 euros (I'm just guessing at charges and taxes), if 40 Fodorites got together, that would be only 15,000 euros a pop....plus maybe another 2000 year pp taxes/maintenance/uts/insurance. Hmmm....don't know if it's legal, but I'd seriously think about it at that price...which apartment is it?

I'm in for one lung

Parler Paris, run by an American, is selling a couple of appartments by the week. When you see that price, you may go...hmmm. I know I did :l

I'll contribute the other lung.

Oh, and can I bring my cats? They'll meow in French.

I'll throw 50 Euros in the hat and a bag full of old Franc. LOL! Happy Travels!

Their regular newsletters contain all the things like this along with some other interesting articles. Enjoyable reading.

The Medoc is a cute apartment. I have been in it. A good kind of place for those who want a Paris apartment..very rentable when you are not there, too, with its desireable location. As to the price. It seems very much in line with all the others, if you look at those being advertised. People are buying Paris apartments all the time. Some like to buy those that need complete re-model and some prefer one that has already been done. An active market.

Perhaps it's the new regulations in Paris regarding apartments for short term rentals. 400,000 apartments in Paris are in short term rentals and most of the money involved is being hidden from the French taxes. PP may be getting rid of some to get out of these new regulations and selling to make good deals on the high real estate prices. Who knows, but would love to buy it!

I think you will find that PP is a registered, licensed commercial company that pays a lot of taxes! They have a lot of new properties recently. They often have guests who want to buy. Their newsletter is the best place to present one to their previous guest who all receive it It will probably not be available for very long. I have seen them go pretty fast. A lot of people looking for nice places, in nice locations.

I would not want the Medoc because it has no bathtub! We stayed in the lovely Champagne for a week-loved it except for the lack of a tub. Perhaps PP is selling the Medoc because it seems to be one of their few apartments without a view of the Eiffel Tower. Since it started its hourly "twinkling" show nearly 10 years ago there has been nothing like it. I would drop whatever I was doing every hour, on the hour, to watch it. We hope to stay in one of PP's apartments soon again, when the volcanoes and British Airways have settled down.
