Antoinette's Necklace: Île-de-France

Exuding elegance and sophistication, this stunning apartment housed in a heritage building dating back to 1784 under the reign of King Louis XVI has been charmingly renovated by an esteemed Parisian architect to make for a luxurious home in the heart of the city of love. Just fifty metres from the Champs-Élysées, you really couldn't be better placed for shopping, sightseeing and flat white sipping in the sunshine – there's a host of classy cafés dotted below. Tick some of the most beloved sights in Paris off your bucket list. Ascend to the top of the Iron Lady with a ten-minute stroll to the Eiffel Tower, and visit the Arc de Triomphe only a couple of kilometres from your door. Back inside, from the moment you enter you'll feel the graceful ambience surrounding this palatial interior, benefitting from gold-trimmed furnishings, ornate mouldings and dazzling chandeliers. After a restful night's sleep in the mint green master bedroom that's fit for royalty, sit down for your morning croissants and coffee at the marble-topped breakfast bar. Speaking of, you'll notice the striking marble-clad bathrooms (all three of them) – there's no queuing for the shower here. Everything has been done with class and comfort in mind within this diamond of an apartment.
