Located in the buzzing Haute Marais, this bright apartment offers a comfortable, central base for those looking to be within easy walking distance of Paris’ most iconic sights. Boasting a pared-back yet chic decor, the main open-plan living area allows its large windows to add a touch of dazzle to the proceedings with their ample natural light. The sleek kitchen area beckons breakfasts of fresh coffee and croissants – courtesy of the many local boulangeries and patisseries – while the simple yet cosy bedroom that faces the building’s leafy inner courtyard offers a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep. With a projector in the second living room – that doubles up as a bedroom – you can enjoy the best of French cinema from your home after a day of sightseeing, or simply curl up on the sofa while listening to some Edith Piaf on the Sonos speakers, a glass of locally bought wine in hand. Outside of your home, the Marais’ colourful, vibrant streets wait to be explored while the Canal Saint-Martin is a ten-minute stroll away.

*The living room and second bedroom are on the street side so you may hear some traffic noise here
