Artist Loft next to Eiffel-Tower

Hello, I'm Bernard, a Frenchman and the founder of HOLIDAYS EUROPE RENTALS. My journey began in the bustling streets of New York City, where I studied photography at the School of Visual Arts. This vibrant city was my home, but my career in fashion, beauty, and portrait photography took me across the globe, with Paris often becoming my second home.

My work allowed me to experience a variety of accommodations, from the opulent luxury of five-star hotels to the simplicity of basic lodgings. Each stay offered unique insights into what makes a place feel welcoming and comfortable. These experiences became invaluable when an accident forced me to pivot from photography to a new passion—curating exceptional vacation rentals.

With HOLIDAYS EUROPE RENTALS, I bring the best of my travel experiences to you. Every property I offer reflects the lessons learned from years of global travel. Attention to detail in reception, concierge services, decoration, and additional amenities ensures that each stay feels like a home away from home. My goal is for my guests to feel as if they are true Parisians during their stay, experiencing the city like a local.

What started with a single apartment has now expanded to include a diverse portfolio of beautiful properties in Paris, charming houses throughout France, and stunning retreats in Mauritius, Morocco, and the Seychelles. My passion for discovering new and unique places continues to drive me, and I am always looking for the next gem to add to our collection.

When you choose to stay with HOLIDAYS EUROPE RENTALS, you’re not just booking a place to sleep—you’re gaining an experience curated by someone who understands the nuances of hospitality and the joy of feeling at home, no matter where you are in the world.

I look forward to welcoming you and helping you create unforgettable memories.

Welcome to our charming apartment located in the vibrant Paris 15th district, an ideal choice for your stay in the City of Light. This district, also known as Vaugirard, offers a perfect blend of residential tranquility and bustling business activity, ensuring that you experience the authentic Parisian lifestyle.

The 15th district starts just south of the iconic Eiffel Tower and extends to the lively Champ de Mars. This area is a testament to the fact that there is so much more to Paris than its famous landmarks. Here, you will discover a genuine neighborhood atmosphere, with streets lined with an array of shops, delightful restaurants, cozy salons, bustling markets, and traditional boulangeries. This vibrant local life caters to the 240,000 residents who call this district home, making it a true Parisian enclave.

One of the highlights of the 15th district is the Île aux Cygnes, a unique man-made island created in the 19th century. This slender isle is renowned for its picturesque running path and the replica of the Statue of Liberty at its downriver end. Stretching 850 meters in length but only 11 meters wide, Île aux Cygnes offers a tranquil retreat and a fascinating slice of Parisian history.

For an unparalleled view of the city, a visit to the Tour Montparnasse is a must. This 56-story skyscraper may not be the prettiest sight in Paris, but its observation deck provides a breathtaking panorama of the city. Ascend Europe’s fastest elevator in just 38 seconds to reach 640 feet above Paris. On a clear day, you can marvel at a 25-mile radius view, spotting all of Paris's major landmarks, including an exceptional view of the Eiffel Tower.

Choosing to stay in our apartment in the 15th district means immersing yourself in a lively, authentic Parisian neighborhood with easy access to some of the city’s most unique attractions. Whether you're here for the local charm or the stunning views, this area offers a quintessential Parisian experience that you won't forget.
