Chouquettes

Chouquettes: Île-de-France

Perhaps it’s the fern and palm tree feature walls in the living room and bedroom, or the cactus-green walls, but something about this Parisian apartment feels topical and fun. You couldn’t be in a more Parisian neighbourhood though, with the Eiffel Tower a seven-minute walk away it can be seen towering above every leafy boulevard and cobbled alleyway in the area. Streets here are filled with the smell of freshly baked croissants from boulangeries and the sound of French chatter from pavement cafés. Retreat to your bijou apartment where every inch of space has been considered carefully – the solid bench seat by the breakfast table in the kitchen, the Japanese-style window between the living room and bedroom and the plant-filled courtyard just outside your front door. The kitchen has all mod cons to create something tasty if you’re not too busy exploring the neighbourhood’s fine array of eateries.
