Art Play

Art Play: Île-de-France

Sitting within Paris’ vibrant pedestrian Montorgueil area, this apartment puts you in an ideal position to experience the best of the city’s art, culture and gastronomy with many of the most celebrated meat and fish markets on your doorstep, along with renowned pastry shops, cosy bistros, boutiques, and bars diverse enough to please traditionalists and hipsters alike.

Inside, bright white walls decked with vibrant pieces of modern art create a smart first impression, with chic contemporary furnishings adding to the stylish scene. We love how much natural light pours in through the French windows that give way to Juliet balconies in both the living area and bedroom, the ideal spot for some people-watching over coffee.

Whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine, gathering at the table for breakfasts of locally bought croissants or waking up in the comfortable bedroom, you’ll feel perfectly at home in this inviting space. Factor in the luxurious rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing time.

When it comes to sightseeing, visit the Louvre a fifteen-minute walk away or explore the Marais’ historic cobbled streets, a twelve-minute stroll away. You’re also a twenty-five-minute walk from Notre Dame, a twenty-minute walk from both the romantic Pont des Arts and the Opéra Garnier, while the delicious Musée du Chocolat is seven minutes on foot from your door.
