This luxury Chamonix apartment is on the second floor of Residence Paccard which was formerly the Hotel de Paris. It is located right in the very centre of Chamonix on historic Rue Dr Paccard, Chamonix's pedestrianised main shopping street, close to Place Balmat (the main square), and offers unrivalled access to the town's superb shops, restaurants, bars, nightlife, museums and other attractions, all right on its doorstep - only the nearby post office has a more central address! Totally structurally refurbished and redecorated to a high standard in December 2004, the apartment is fresh and modern. It is an ideal base for all that Chamonix has to offer, with the whole of the valley easily accessible by the in-resort Ski-Bus which stops only a minute from the apartment, yet its location and come-and-go ease of access make it additionally suited to families and to groups of mixed abilities or having different interests. The lounge is light and spacious, with tall windows and French-doors offering access to an over-street balcony and giving the room classic views of the Brevent and the Aiguilles Rouges mountain range. Furnishings are top quality and in the traditional Savoyard style, with two comfortable sofas (one a sofa bed), coffee table, drawer unit, entertainment unit with TV, DVD, Video and HiFi, 2 comfortable armchairs plus a large fluffy rug to relax on. The long traditional dining table seats 6-8 comfortably and is ideal for entertaining - or simply to enjoy breakfast with fresh bread and warm croissants from the boulangerie across the street below. The separate kitchen is neat and fully equipped with all modern conveniences including four-ring halogen hob, extractor fan, fridge, microwave/ conventional oven, dishwasher, Bosch washer-dryer, kettle, toaster, the full MyFrenchChalet inventory of kitchenware, plus a butchers-block trolley: everything needed for full dining - if you can manage to drag yourself away from Chamonix's many fine restaurants on your doorstep, that is! The Master Bedroom has twin beds that can be zipped up to form a double, with wardrobe and bedside locker in matching traditional pine, and views of Rue Dr Paccard and the Brevent. En-suite is a shower room with washbasin and vanity unit and full-body balneo massage power-shower - perfect for relaxing after any day's activities, or for an invigorating start in the mornings. Bedroom 2 is has full-size bunks plus an single bed - ideal for children or a couple, matching chest of drawers and clothes hooks, mirror, and it has French-doors leading to its own balcony with street and Brevent views. There is a second shower-room, again with full body massage shower, washbasin and vanity unit and storage, and the WC is in its own separate room.
