Chateau Aurore

Chateau Aurore: Île-de-France

Located in Le Marais, an area that pulses with life amongst cafes, museums and shops, sits this idyllic apartment. The home is nestled at the back of a majestic courtyard within a historical building designed in 1619 where time seems to have stopped. The interiors are a mix of classic and country-house, with wooden exposed beams, rich textures, velvet finishes and terracotta floor tiles. Although the kitchen is on the small side, this cosy space is perfectly suited to a couple who seek to immerse themselves into the splendour of a former era.

Home truths:
* The apartment is located on the 2nd floor and there isn’t any elevator to take you up there - not everyone will appreciate the free workout
* Quick heads up - The access to the master bedroom is via 3 small steps
*Beware - this home lacks a little in natural light
*The laundry facilities in this building are communal
*Special mention to the culinary connoisseurs - this home isn't equipped with an oven
*The fireplaces here are purely decorative - so you'll have to use your imagination to see the flames
*Broadband surfers beware - the WIFI doesn't reach the bedroom here
