Saint-Germain-des-Prés

In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, luxury takes the form of a certain art de vivre: preserved facades, iconic cafés, intimate bookstores, art galleries, and views over the Seine. Here, everything lies in the nuances; the Left Bank is experienced as a discreet privilege, balancing intellectual heritage with contemporary elegance.

Choosing a HIGHSTAY apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés means anchoring your stay in the heart of the 6th arrondissement while treating yourself to the serenity of a perfectly mastered interior. Behind a carriage entrance, the neighborhood suddenly becomes more hushed: generous volumes, noble materials, natural light, libraries, and carefully selected artworks or design pieces. Karl Lagerfeld’s former office, transformed into an exceptional apartment, is the most emblematic incarnation of this: a place where one can still feel the creative imprint, reinvented for a resolutely contemporary use.

Your apartment becomes a genuine Parisian pied-à-terre: a space where you settle in, where you entertain, where you work, and where you recharge. Outside, the quays, Boulevard Saint-Germain, and mythical cafés; inside, a Left Bank sanctuary designed for absolute comfort.

The quintessential Left Bank address

The buildings selected by HIGHSTAY benefit from discreet entrances, immaculate common areas, and a high-quality residential environment.

The other apartments in the collection follow the same exacting standards: fully equipped kitchens for entertaining, generous walk-in closets, complete sleeping quarters, and living areas designed for working, dining, or relaxing. Natural light is highlighted, the decoration blends signature pieces with custom-made furniture, and technology remains discreet.

Art de Vivre & Signature Boutiques

Saint-Germain-des-Prés embodies a certain vision of Paris: elegant streets, intimate window displays, historic houses, and contemporary brands resonating within a curated setting. Between Boulevard Saint-Germain, Rue de Grenelle, Rue des Saints-Pères, or Rue du Bac, shopping is experienced as a leisurely stroll: designer pieces, concept stores, discreet jewelry, and home decor houses. From your HIGHSTAY apartment, these addresses are just a few minutes' walk away. Private fittings, express alterations, or a selection of custom-made pieces: our concierge can coordinate every detail so that Left Bank shopping fits naturally into the rhythm of your day.

Legendary Cafés, Gastronomy & Intimate Evenings

Literary cafés, historic brasseries, gourmet dining, or more intimate addresses: Saint-Germain-des-Prés cultivates a unique art of dining. Here, one takes a first meeting over an iconic coffee, enjoys lunch in a room with patinated wood paneling, and dines at a more confidential address, sheltered from view. In the evening, the atmosphere remains hushed: a few cocktail bars, places where conversation lingers, and quiet streets for the walk home. Our concierge handles your reservations and preferences so that Left Bank gastronomy naturally accompanies your stay.

Culture, Galleries & Bookstores

Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of the historic hearts of Parisian intellectual life. Art galleries, independent bookstores, publishing houses, small concert halls, churches, and cloisters hosting exhibitions: culture is discovered around the bend of an inner courtyard just as much as in the major neighboring institutions (Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, Institut de France...). Your HIGHSTAY apartment thus becomes the ideal starting point to alternate between meetings, visits, gallery openings, and simple walks through the streets and along the Seine quays. Day or night, everything is accessible on foot or within a few minutes by car.

Metro, bus, direct routes to train stations and airports: your travels, whether private or professional, are planned with ease. Our concierge can organize your transfers, book a chauffeur, optimize your walking routes, and advise you on the best time slots according to your constraints.
