Paris en Printemps

It's a gorgeous, blue skies and sun kind of day here in Vancouver... the kind of day that reminds me of Paris in late February. There are innumerable things I love about the French capital, but its climate is high on the list. I can't think of anything more agreeable that clear skies and mild temperatures (nearly) all year long.

In honour of my pining for Paris, I've compiled a list of my new favourite apartments for rent from Ah Paris. (You'll probably notice that a lot of them are in the same arrondissements... I have to admit, I did concentrate on areas I'd want to stay while spending my springtime in Paris. Many are also more expensive than my usual picks, but let's face it; I'm fantasising.) Their list of vacation rentals is modified and added to constantly... so much so that they have added a See our Latest Listing feature on their homepage.

If you're lucky enough to be spending springtime in Paris, consider renting one of these apartments...

120€ night/800€/2400€ month Minimum stay: 3 nights

Everything about this apartment is lovely, but the bathroom is particularly inspired... still a rare thing in Paris!

#225 4eme arrondissement (M) Hôtel-de-Ville Sleeps 2 25m²

95€ night/580€/1600€ month Minimum stay: 3 nights

This apartment has so much Parisian charm that I'm willing to overlook the almost total lack of amenities.

Between the loft bed, stylish decor and immaculate bathroom, I really can't decide what my favourite part of this apartment is... probably all of it!

120€ night/800€/2500€ month Minimum stay: 3 nights

Amenities include: TV, DVD, telephone, WiFi, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, bathtub

This apartment comes with a veritable library... what more need I say?

I admit, this one is pretty tiny... but it's immaculate and adorable, perfect for a girls weekend away.

#399 18eme arrondissement (M) Jules-Joffrin Sleeps 2 35m²

100€ night/700€/2100€ month Minimum stay: 2 nights

What this apartment lacks in amenities- and there are virtually none- it more than makes up in style.
