Cream Hydrangea

Cream Hydrangea: Île-de-France

An art lover’s paradise – this home is situated a four-minute stroll from the Pompidou Centre, while the Musée National Picasso-Paris is ten minutes on foot. If you’re more of a poetry fan, then head to Musée Victor Hugo, once the home of the Romantic movement poet, novelist and playwright, a fifteen-minute saunter away. Or, sample the stylish bars and restaurants, as well as hip galleries and boutiques on your doorstep in this Le Marais location. The iconic Notre Dame, on the other hand, is under a twenty-minute walk.

Back at this stylish home, take a seat on the enclosed patio and enjoy a glass of French rosé wine. This place is a lovely mix of modern and character features – think old wood beams, chandeliers, contemporary artwork and ghost chairs, for example. After cooking some moules marinière in the monochrome kitchen, retire to the library or relax on the comfy sofa. We were surprised by how quiet this home was, given its fabulous location.
